Prostate Cancer Screenings Can Save Lives
Most men show no early signs of prostate cancer, making regular screenings essential. The American Cancer Society notes that one in eight men will be diagnosed, and it’s the second-leading cause of cancer death in men. A major factor in rising risk is the lack of screening. A 20-year European study found that men who attended screenings had a 23% lower risk of dying from prostate cancer. Experts emphasize the importance of PSA testing for early detection and timely treatment. Encouraging men to overcome screening avoidance could significantly reduce deaths from this silent but deadly disease.
