National Prostate Health Month, observed in September, is intended to raise awareness, educate men about risk factors and symptoms, and promote the need for additional research. The US Preventive Services Task Force issued a draft statement earlier this year that recommended men aged 55 to 69 years make individualized decisions regarding prostate cancer screening with their clinician. “The recommendations are sensible and will lead to more screening for prostate cancer that will no doubt save lives,” said Ash Tewari, MBBS, MCh, professor and system chair of urology at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai. “It’s important to take a deliberate, thorough and cautious approach to managing prostate cancer.”
