It is important to talk to your doctor about your risk factors and prostate cancer screenings.Many doctors recommend men receive an annual blood test called a Prostate-Specific Antigen, which tests for a substance made by the prostate. Another screening is a Digital Rectal Exam, which allows a physician to feel for bumps or hard areas on the prostate.If you are diagnosed with prostate cancer, Centegra Health System offers state-of-the-art robotic surgery to treat this disease.
