Informed screening
- Discuss PSA blood testing with your clinician, typically starting around age 50 (earlier if Black or with a family history)
- Shared decision-making matters — weigh the benefits and limitations of screening for you
- Report urinary changes, though early prostate cancer often has no symptoms
- Many prostate cancers are slow-growing and safely monitored with active surveillance
Healthy habits
- Stay active and maintain a healthy weight
- Eat a balanced, mostly plant-forward diet
- Don't smoke
- Know your family history of prostate, breast, and other cancers
If treatment is needed
When treatment is warranted, radiation is highly effective and non-surgical — modern stereotactic treatment (SBRT) can be completed in just five sessions.
