 Prostate Screenings
As the second leading cause of cancer deaths in men, prostate cancer is a major health concern. The good news is that when prostate cancer is detected early, it can be treated, but early-stage prostate cancer has no symptoms. For this reason, doctors recommend all men ages 50 and older undergo a yearly prostate cancer screening. Men in high-risk groups including those with a family history of prostate cancer and African Americans should begin screening at age 40.
Urology San Antonio makes the potentially life-saving prostate cancer screenings free at community venues several times a year. The two-part screening consists of a blood test and a rectal exam performed by a urologist. These tests are simple and quick. Pre-screening preparations such as fasting are not necessary.
Urology San Antonio is providing free prostate screenings through partnerships with the following co-sponsoring organizations. These screenings are open to the public. No appointments will be taken; men will be seen in the order in which they arrive.
