Early detection is key to long-term survival rates of prostate cancer, which is why Stony Brook Medicine’s Department of Urology and Stony Brook Cancer Center offers free Prostate Cancer Screenings throughout the year, as part of our larger Prostate Care Program. Prostate cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer in American men. Approximately 1 in 8 men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer and 1 in 41 men will die of the disease. As you get older, your risk increases.

Men aged 45-75 years, African American men and men with a family history of prostate cancer may benefit from early screenings. In most cases, prostate cancer has no symptoms and is usually detected through a screening.

Next month, free screenings will be held at Stony Brook Urology’s Riverhead location. Full details can be found below.
