Early Detection Can Save Your Life |
|
There are no warning signs or symptoms of early prostate cancer. Yet your best chance for surviving prostate cancer is early detection and treatment. Mount Carmel offers both.
If you're man age 50 or over, an annual screenings are vital to your ongoing good health. African-American males and men with a family history of prostate cancer should begin screenings at age 40-45. Screening should include:
- Annual digital rectal exam (typically completed during a regular physical exam).
- Annual prostate-specific antigen (PSA) blood test.
Prostate screenings can be easily performed by a family practice physician or a urologist. Schedule an appointment today. If you don’t have a physician, call 614-234-LIFE and we’ll refer you to one. And if you find you need prostate cancer treatment, trust the experts at Mount Carmel. From traditional treatments like radiation therapy to progressive procedures like seed implants and robotic surgery, we provide delicately precise prostate care that just might save your life.
