The American Cancer Society recommends that starting at age 50, men should talk with their physician to see if prostate testing is the right choice for them. Men who are at higher risk of developing prosate cancer, including men who are African American or have a father or brother who had prostate cancer before age 65, may need to start screening at age 45. Men who are at very high risk (> than 1 relative) should start this discussion with their physician at age 40. Screening includes a free PSA (Prostate Specific Antigen) blood test and DRE (Digital Rectal Exam). Men should talk with their health care professionals to see if they would benefit from the screening.

Please call (800) 931-3322 to schedule your FREE screening.
