Deacon Clive Chambers: There is a great fear among the Jamaican men about doing the rectal examination because the prostate is located near to the anus and the easiest way is to access through the anus.

Despite the fact that prostate cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related deaths in Jamaica and the Caribbean, men continue to turn a blind eye towards getting tested.
