Incolink Prostate Cancer Campaign
Incolink provides members with up to $50 each for a simple test to detect prostate cancer – a disease that affects one in 11 men in Australia. With 10,000 new cases diagnosed each year, prostate cancer is the most frequent cancer, and the second highest cause of cancer-related deaths, in Australian men. The good news is it is treatable if detected early, with almost 100 per cent of men diagnosed early disease-free after five years, according to the Prostate Cancer Foundation of Australia.
To encourage members to take the simple PSA blood test, Incolink provides up to $50 each to cover the difference between the total bill and the Medicare rebate. In addition to the $200,000 for this screening program, Incolink is providing $50,000 to Brisbane’s Mater Medical Research Institute, which is a world leader in prostate research.
