AWARENESS PREVENTION THAT SAVES LIVES
Prostate Cancer Screenings
The goal of screening for prostate cancer is to find cancers that may be at high risk for spreading if not treated, and to find them early before they spread. Screening for prostate cancer begins with a blood test called a prostate specific antigen (PSA) test. This test measures the level of PSA in the blood. PSA is a substance made by the prostate. The levels of PSA in the blood can be higher in men who have prostate cancer. The PSA level may also be elevated in other conditions that affect the prostate.
Treatment
Treatment options and recommendations depend on several factors, including the type and stage of cancer, possible side effects, and the patient’s preferences and overall health. Your care plan may also include treatment for symptoms and side effects, an important part of cancer care.
Community Support
Hope Connections for Cancer Support engage cancer patients from the community and provide people with cancer and caregivers with an opportunity to explore ways of coping with the stress of a cancer diagnosis and treatment. They have licensed clinicians on board to help group participants learn how to take an active role in their own health and well-being.
