September is Prostate Cancer Awareness Month💙
Prostate cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer in Australian men, and around 1 in 5 men will be diagnosed during their lifetime.
The good news is that when prostate cancer is detected early, outcomes are often very good. That's why it's important to understand your risk and know when to have a conversation with your GP.
A PSA blood test may be appropriate for some men, particularly those aged 50–69 years, or earlier if you have a strong family history of prostate cancer. PSA testing isn't right for everyone, so it's important to discuss the potential benefits and limitations with your GP.
If you're due for a discussion about prostate cancer screening, or you're unsure about your risk, we're here to help.
