Prostate Cancer
Prostate cancer is most common in men that are over the age of 65. Nearly 250,000 men were diagnosed with this aggressive cancer type in 2020, and over 34,000 men lost their lives to it.
Screening for this aggressive cancer type is available, and there are adequate treatment options. The good news is that over 98% of those who get prostate cancer can still survive five years after their diagnosis. But what about detection and treatment?
A specialist can detect prostate cancer through a blood test that examines for specific antigens in your body. They can also check for prostate problems during your annual physical exam.
If you’re diagnosed with prostate cancer, your physician will discuss with you a treatment plan you can follow. There are also surgical options, radiation, and chemotherapy available.
