Screening Stressing the importance of early prostate cancer detection, the UNMC Eppley Cancer Center held a free prostate cancer screening at the Black Family Health and Wellness Association's Health Fair held at North High School on Feb. 17. There were more than 100 participants. According to Dr. Kenneth H. Cowan, director of the UNMC Eppley Cancer Center, it is important to reach out to the community and generate awareness of prostate cancer and the value of early detection.
Early detection is critical.
Prostate cancer, specifically, can be easily treated if detected early, so our goal is to find it early. When necessary, participants were referred to follow up with their personal physicians.
