Prostate cancer screening

Posted by Monique Wright - email

CHESTERFIELD, VA (WWBT) - Dr. David Boyd is recommending prostate cancer screenings to his male patients.

It is second only to non-melanoma skin cancer and lung cancer, as the leading cause of cancer and cancer death, respectively, in men.

Men age 40 to 75 need an annual screening via a blood test and physical exam.

See your doctor to set up your screening appointment.
