Early detection offers the best chance at long-term survival.
The Prostate Care Program offers periodic screenings at the Department of Urology, in University Hospital and Medical Center at Stony Brook and throughout the community. We recommend annual screenings for all men aged 50 and over. African-American men and men with a family history of prostate cancer should begin annual screenings at age 40. The group meets the first Monday of each month. Individual and family therapy is also available.
