Don’t Wait Until It’s Too Late
Every year, thousands of men lose their lives to prostate cancer—often because it wasn’t caught early. The good news? Early screening can find prostate cancer when it’s most treatable.
· A quick blood test could save your life.
· Early detection means more time with the people you love.
Men at increased risk for prostate cancer should start getting screened with a PSA blood test at age 40 to 45. Increased risk includes men with a strong family history of breast or prostate cancer or men with black ancestry.
Men who do not have an increased risk should discuss getting a baseline screening at age 45-50.
Your health matters. Your family is counting on you.
If you know your PSA (prostate-specific antigen) check your risk with a prostate cancer risk calculator.
