Prostate cancer screenings
Cancer of the prostate – the walnut-sized reproductive gland located below the bladder – is the most common cancer in American men, affecting around 13 in every 100, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The biggest risk factors for prostate cancer are age and a family history of prostate cancer. Prostate cancer is also more common in the African American community.
