Screenings for prostate cancer




September is Prostate Cancer Awareness Month and Los Robles Hospital and Medical Center is offering free prostate screenings to men between the ages of 40 and 80 who have no history of prostate surgery, are not currently under the care of a urologist, and have not had a PSA screening in the last 12 months.

The free screenings will be by appointment from 8:30 to 11:30 a.m. Sat., Sept. 26 at the Los Robles SurgiCenter, 2190 Lynn Road, Ste. 100, Thousand Oaks.

The screenings include testing the amount of prostate-specific antigen in the blood and digital rectal exam performed by an urologist. Prostate cancer can often be detected early by either of these methods. Cancer found early is often treatable.

For information or an appointment, call (805) 370-4515.
