The Bottom Line

Is screening right for you? Take the RealAge Prostate Cancer Screening and Risk Assessment and find out!
There are no clear-cut, or right or wrong, answers. Each man is different, and each must choose the best screening strategy for him and his family. Weigh the pros and the cons of being screened, and treated, if cancer is found. If prostate cancer is detected, you have time to make decisions. It is not the kind of disease where you need to rush into treatment. Getting a second opinion, talking to other men with prostate cancer in support groups, and learning as much as possible are essential first steps. Understand that younger men in good health, who are treated in medical centers with staff that have greater experience with treating prostate cancer, tend to have fewer complications. In the meantime, there are things that you can do in your lifestyle that appear to be beneficial for prostate health
