Free Prostate Cancer
Screening
Prostate cancer will
kill more than 39,000 American men this year, but with early detection
your chances of survival increase dramatically. Men should be screened
for prostate cancer annually after the age of 50--earlier if they
are African-American or have a family history of the disease.
To help fight prostate cancer, Loyola University Health System
offers free screenings annually--including a blood test and an exam
by a physician. This screening is not recommended for men currently
under the care of a urologist.
Appointment times are limited and registration is required.
To find out about the next screening call (708) CAN-HELP (225-4357).
Clinical Trials
If you are interested learning more about clinical trials, or possibly
participating in a clinical trial in the field of Urology, you may

you think you may qualify, contact the person listed for that trial.
