Oklahoma Proton Center

Early detection saves lives! PSA screening may help you detect prostate cancer early. Some prostate cancers are slow growing and never spread beyond the prostate gland. Cancer is easier to treat and is more likely to be cured if it's diagnosed in the early stages of the disease. A recent study found that a reduction in PSA screening in men aged 40 years and older was associated with an increase in metastatic prostate cancer diagnoses in the United States.... If you have questions about cancer screening Oklahoma Proton Center can help. https://www.clinicaloncology.com//U-S-Metastatic-Pr/63311
