Early detection is the key to successfully treating prostate cancer.
In 1998, it is expected that 184,000 new cases will be diagnosed. As a service to the community, UCI Medical Center's Chao Family Comprehensive Cancer Center will offer free prostate screenings Tuesday, Sept. 22, and Thursday, Sept. 24, from 4 to 7 p.m. Appointments are required. The screening includes free prostate-specific antigen blood tests and an examination by a UCI Medical Center physician.
