TO YOUR HEALTH Good habits for school year |
By Al Borhan, M.D.
Prostate cancer, the most common non-skin malignancy affecting men in the United States, is the second-leading cause of cancer death in men, according to the American Cancer Society. One in six men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer in his lifetime.
Although potentially life-threatening, such cancers often are curable. Prostate cancer is most treatable when caught early. That’s why the American Urological Association strongly supports early prostate cancer detection and feels it is in a man’s best interest to be tested for prostate cancer.
