Talk About Screening:
• Early prostate cancer usually has no signs. This is why screening is so important. • Find a health care provider you trust. Black men and those with a family history of cancer should talk to their provider about testing beginning at age 40. • They will use a simple blood test called a PSA test.
After Screening:
If screening suggests you might have cancer, your health provider may do a biopsy (take a small tissue sample). If they find cancer, doctors may do more tests to learn about it. These tests can show the best way to treat it. There are many treatment options. If caught early, care may involve close monitoring of the cancer. You and your health care provider can decide together what is right for you.
