Early Detection
Early detection often means more treatment options are available and less extensive treatment is necessary. 

It's important to be checked for prostate cancer as part of your yearly physical examination, and to see a urologist (a doctor who specializes in diseases of the urinary tract and the male reproductive system) when an abnormality is detected.

Individuals should talk with their doctor about cancer prevention methods and whether these methods would be likely to help.
