The event was held at Texas Health Presbyterian Dallas in the Fogelson auditorium. Chris Arnold with the Dallas Mavericks opened the event introducing Dr. Pat Fulgham and encouraging men to listen to his important message about prostate cancer screening in Black men.
Black Men develop prostate cancer 3-9 years earlier than their counterparts. Black Men tend to have a more aggressive form of prostate cancer. Black Men tend to have a more advanced stage of disease at the time of diagnosis.
All Black Men should undergo an annual PSA blood test beginning at age 40.
All Black Men should continue annual testing until at least the age of 75 OR until life expectancy based on overall health is less than 10 years.
Black Men with a strong family history may consider a discussion regarding PSA testing with their physician as early as age 35.
