An otherwise healthy and active 73-year-old, “I didn’t want to take a chance and wanted to get on it while it was in the early stages,” » Read more about: Regular screenings to promote prostate health »
Prostate health: Early detection starts with screening
If you are a male over the age of 50 and haven’t received a prostate screening yet, perhaps this will strike a chord with you: one in seven men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer in their lifetime, according to the American Cancer Society.
