Keeping Your Prostate Healthy

Confused About Prostate Cancer Screening Tests? Here’s What We Suggest 2

Prostate cancer is the most common cancer in men. Detected early, it can be treated and often cured. That’s the good news.

Try to weigh risks and benefits
The bad news is that although doc-checs and certain tests can find prostate cancer at an early stage, the medical community remains divided on whether surgery and or radiation is a good choice for slow-growing prostate cancers, and often counsel watching and waiting because treatment has its own sometimes severe side effects.

Do your own research
Our advice to you find a reputable website and do some research. Then talk with your health professional to help make an educated decision about what you need to do given your age, race and personal health history.
