September is National Prostate Cancer Awareness Month. White River Health System (WRHS) is reminding men, ages 50 and older, who have not been diagnosed with or treated for prostate cancer to be screened. (African-American men and men with a family history of prostate cancer should be screened beginning at age 40.)

Early detection is key. Prostate cancer is the most common cancer diagnosed in men. Nine out of 1o men survive prostate cancer if it is detected early.

White River Now’s Chad Whiteaker recently visited with WRHS urologists Dr. Hunter Brown and Dr. Robert Emery about prostate cancer and its treatment. Listen to their conversation below.
