Preventing prostate cancer
While there is no perfect test or screening measure to prevent prostate cancer, you can lower your risk by having a good diet, maintaining a health weight and exercising most days of the week. The PSA blood test can be used in certain situations for high risk groups, but pros and cons of the test should be discussed thoroughly with your doctor.
