Free Prostate Screening and Education Event at Highlands Oncology Group in Rogers
Rogers, AR, September 6, 2016 (Newswire.com) - A man has a one in seven chance of developing prostate cancer during his lifetime. Men die at a higher rate from prostate cancer than women die from breast cancer in Arkansas.

A blood test for prostate-specific antigen (PSA) and a physical screening (DRE) will be available. The physical examination is optional. There will also be education available on the risks and benefits of the screening.
We encourage businesses, small and large, to encourage their employees to attend this free health-care screening.
