Men, get your prostate tested now

With the curtain coming down on Men's Health Month, men are urged to prioritise prostate cancer screening.
-
Dr Hannes Brummer, Urologist at Netcare Greenacres Hospital, says prostate cancer is a major risk to men's health, with South African men facing a one in eight chance of developing this most common of male cancers.
Fellow Urologist Dr Johan Coetzee adds that men usually do not feel any symptoms until prostate cancer has progressed significantly
"Which is why they need to be proactive about booking their routine prostate cancer screenings.
"With the advanced prostate specific antigen [PSA] screening blood test available from GPs these days, there is so much more opportunity for prostate cancer to be detected earlier when it is still at a highly treatable stage."
Brummer adds that there are various treatment options available.
