Prostate Cancer Screenings
A Prostate-Specific Antigen (PSA) blood test and Digital Rectal Examination (DRE) are recommended annually for men 50 years of age or older. African American men and men with a family history of prostate cancer should begin screening at age 45. A PSA blood test and DRE can be performed by your family physician. If you do not have a family physician, The Physician Group with Jewish Hospital & St. Mary’s HealthCare (JHSMH) has offices located throughout the Louisville Metro area. You can call (866) 521-DOCS to find a physician near you.
