Why are regular prostate check ups important?

Wednesday, 16 February 2011 03:16 Last Updated on Wednesday, 16 February 2011 04:03 Written by Richard Lotenfoe

Early prostate cancer has very few to no symptoms, so it can only be found through routine screening. As men get older, especially over the age of 50, it is very important to be tested and to identify any abnormalities. Not all prostate problems are cancer, but prostate cancer is the most serious problem. Some prostate cancers are small and/or slow and do not progress beyond the prostate gland. Some are more aggressive and advance very rapidly. Treatment is more successful if it is started when the cancer is still small and is still contained within the prostate gland.
