Prostate cancer is the second most common cancer among men, following skin cancer. Each year, 1 in 7 men will be diagnosed with this condition. As we observe Prostate Cancer Awareness Month, it's essential to understand the risks and the importance of early detection.
Prostate cancer often grows slowly and may not show symptoms for many years. The goal of prostate cancer screening is to detect cancers that might spread if left untreated. If you fall into one of the following categories, it’s important to discuss prostate cancer screening options with your healthcare provider:
- Age 50: Men at average risk of prostate cancer.
- Age 45: Men at high risk, such as those with a family history of the disease.
- Age 40: Men at even higher risk, particularly if prostate cancer was present at an early age in the family.
How We Can Help
