Roswell Park Cancer Institute physicians are frequently asked the question, "Doc, do I have prostate cancer?" by anxious men who have been told they have an elevated PSA reading. As a result, Roswell Park Cancer Institute in Buffalo, NY, has created the High Risk/Early Detection Prostate Cancer Clinic. Located at Roswell Park's Amherst Center at Wehrle and Youngs Roads, the Clinic will be open once a week to men who would like a RPCI prostate cancer specialist to evaluate their results and recommend next steps.
The National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) recommends that men may need to receive a baseline PSA test as early as age 40. This is particularly important for those at high risk, including African Americans, men with a family history of prostate cancer, or men with a confirmed BRCA1 or BRCA2 genetic mutation. The decision to participate in an early detection program for prostate cancer should be discussed with your doctor.
For more information on the High Risk/Early Detection Prostate Cancer Clinic, view the clinic flyer or call 1-800-ROSWELL (1-800-767-9355).
