What You Can Do

Talk to Your Family About Cancer Risk

These should be open conversations, not family secrets. Cancer can be passed down through families. Keep your kids safe.

Get Screened

If you are Black or have a family history of prostate or other cancers, start talking to your doctor about PSA screening at age 40.
