What Should I Know About Screening?
Know the Risks
Age, family history, and lifestyle can all affect your prostate cancer risk. Talk to your doctor about how to be proactive about prostate cancer.
Listen to Your Body
Fighting cancer starts with awareness. Changes in urination, persistent pain, or unexplained fatigue could signal something more.
Save Your Life
Annual screenings can help you find and fight prostate cancer at a more treatable stage. Finding the cancer early can make all the difference.

Your Screening Journey
Request an Appointment
We'll contact you within 48 hours to answer your questions and guide you through next steps, such as scheduling an appointment with a urologist.
See a Provider
You’ll have a consultation with one of our urologists, who will review your medical history and make recommendations for your screening.
Get Screened
Screening begins with a simple PSA blood test. If your levels are high, you might also have a DRE (digital rectal exam), where your doctor checks for prostate abnormalities.
Review Your Results
We’ll explain what your numbers mean and discuss if a follow-up is needed. Keep in mind not all elevated PSAs mean cancer — other factors like inflammation can affect results.
Next Steps
If anything needs further attention, we’ll guide you through additional testing to get a full picture of your prostate health. We’ll also go over potential treatment options if needed.
Active Surveillance
Sometimes, finding cancer doesn’t require drastic action — low-risk prostate cancers can remain harmless. Active surveillance monitors cancer and delays treatment until needed.
