Prostate cancer screening is a process used to detect prostate cancer in men, often before symptoms appear. The most common screening tests include the Prostate-Specific Antigen (PSA) blood test and the digital rectal exam (DRE). These tests help identify potential issues, allowing for early intervention if necessary. Men are generally advised to discuss screening options with their healthcare provider, especially if they are at higher risk due to factors like age, family history, or race. Early detection can lead to more effective treatment and better outcomes for those diagnosed with prostate cancer.
