BRONX, NY (September 20, 2010) - Men and their loved ones are invited to learn about prostate cancer and the latest treatment options for the disease at a free seminar hosted by the Montefiore-Einstein Center for Cancer Care (MECCC) in conjunction with Intuitive Surgical and the NFL.

The event will be held from 4 to 5:30 p.m. on Monday, Sept. 27th at the MECCC, 1521 Jarret Place, Bronx, NY.
