Every Man Needs a Prostate Plan​®

  • Know your numbers!  A baseline risk assessment for major causes of mortality in men can help proactively predict cardiovascular disease, cancer, diabetes, and more.
  • Consider a baseline prostate screening at 40, when elevations are less likely to be caused by enlargement or other prostate conditions.
  • Average prostate specific antigen (PSA) increases with age.  Men with a higher than average baseline that is not due to certain conditions or activities are at the greatest risk for future development of aggressive prostate cancer.
  • A low PSA number does not mean no cancer is present.  While less common, low PSA producing cancers can be very deadly and can only be found by digital rectal exam (DRE) and possibly imaging.
  • Over 40?  Click here and answer a few simple questions to view a plan that is more relevant to you!
