Prostate cancer
Early detection is your best defense
While advanced prostate cancer can be life threatening, men with cancer confined to the prostate have a five-year survival rate of close to 100 percent. Screening can help you catch prostate cancer early while it is easier to treat – and beat. Talk to your doctor to find out when you should begin screening for prostate cancer.
