Prostate Cancer Prevention and Screening: Important Steps for Men's Health

Prostate cancer is the most common type of cancer that affects men.

 However, its prevention is easy. Depending on age and always in consultation with the doctor, the appropriate examination should be performed. Cancer can be detected through the PSA test. This specific antigen is a blood test and is the basic test for the early diagnosis of prostate cancer.

It is advisable to start preventive screening at the age of 50 and to repeat it every 3 years, while for those over 60, the examination is recommended every 2 years. For men with a family history, doctors urge that the examination be done earlier, at the age of 40.

Prevention is the key to our health. Do not neglect regular monitoring and preventive examinations. Prostate cancer can be detected early and treated more successfully when diagnosed early. Take care of yourself and talk to your doctor for the best control of your health.
