Prostate cancer crusaders hope to halt disease
2002
Overview
Many men avoid the testing out of ignorance, fear or denial that prostate cancer might affect them. [Bob Samuels] said he hopes some of them will be reached through a national educational campaign that kicks off Thursday and Friday. In Orlando, free prostate screenings will be offered. Local doctors have volunteered to do the tests, which include a physical exam and blood test to check for a protein in the blood called prostate specific antigen, or PSA. High levels of PSA can be a sign of prostate cancer, although other things also can cause an elevated reading. If found early when it has not spread beyond the prostate, the cure rate for prostate cancer is 100 percent, said Dr. David Robinson, a Florida Hospital medical oncologist. As with all cancers, it is more difficult to treat the disease in advanced stages.
