It’s important for men to talk about screening (testing) with their doctor. This video helps men understand their prostate cancer screening options.
“It’s tough to make a decision to screen for prostate cancer or to wait and watch for symptoms,” says CDC’s Demetrius Parker in this blog post.
“That’s why talking with our doctor is the key. Our physician can help us avoid unnecessary tests and treatments and make the choice that fits our life, our personal values, and individual circumstances.”
