Dr. Nicholas Laryngakis discusses prostate cancer and the importance of screening. Prostate cancer is prevalent in men, making screening crucial for early detection and treatment.
Highlights
🩺 Prostate cancer is the most common non-skin cancer in men, with a 1 in 7 chance of occurrence in their lifetime.
📅 Screening typically starts in middle-aged men, but the timing varies based on risk factors and family history.
🏥 African-American men or those at high risk may start screening around age 40, while others start around 50 or 55.
💡 Some cancer societies recommend starting screening around age 40 with periodic follow-ups.
🤔 The decision to screen should be discussed with a primary care physician or urologist to assess individual circumstances.
🏥 Prostate cancer screenings can be done in outpatient surgery centers or hospitals, depending on the patient's medical conditions.
