Abstract
Objective: To verify the importance of the role of the Nurse within the national policy of men in the prevention of prostate cancer. Bibliographic review: According to a survey carried out by the Ministry of Health, about a third (31%) of Brazilian men do not regularly consult with doctors to monitor their health status as they believe in their virility and that they do not get sick simply because they are strong and the percentage of a disease reaching them is very low due to these reasons. Nursing is a profession that has a fundamental role in the health education process, clarifying doubts, promoting educational strategies for the prevention of health problems and encouraging the care of the male population. Final considerations: The application of the therapeutic project aims to intervene in order to achieve the main objective, which is to mobilize health actions and services that encourage the male population to take better care of their health.
