Prostate cancer is the

lowing deaths due to lung
cancer. In 1998, 374 men
died of prostate cancer in
Oklahoma and 1,810 were
diagnosed with prostate
cancer.
Nationally, more than
198,000 men will learn
they have the disease in
2001, and over 31,500 men
will lose their lives from it.
There is no better time
than September, during
Prostate Cancer Aware-
ness Month, for men to
talk with their health care
provider about this dis-
ease so that informed deci-
sions can be made.
Oklahoma State Depart-
ment of Health officials
are asking men, 45 years of
age and older, to take re-
sponsibility for their
prostate health by talking
with their health care
provider to learn more
about diseases of the
prostate and the choices
available that allow for
early detection testing and
treatment.
The major risk factors always detect prostate
for prostate cancer are age,
family history, and race.

risk of getting prostate

Men with more than two

risk for getting prostate
cancer. African American
men are twice as likely to
have prostate cancer than
white men.
The two tests to detect
prostate cancer are called
prostate serum antigen
(PSA) and digital rectal ex-
amination (DRE), which
must be used in combina-
tion to make the best
screen for abnormal condi-
tions. The PSA is a blood
test used to measure the
protein from the prostate
in the blood. In the DRE
test, a physician uses a
gloved finger in the rec-
tum to examine the
prostate gland for sizes
larger than a walnut.
There is disagreement
among cancer experts as to
