Prostate Cancer Screening
Prostate cancer can be successfully
treated when detected in the early stages.
Thefacts about prostate cancer:
• It is the second most common cause of cancer death among
American men.
• An estimated 165,000 men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer in
1993.
• About one man in four diagnosed with prostate cancer will die from
the disease (about 35,000) this year.
• Many of these deaths could have been avoided if the cancer had been
detected at an early stage when available treatment stands the greatest
chance of success.
Minimize your risk with afree prostate cancer screening.
