About one man in every eight is diagnosed with prostate cancer each year. Prostate cancer is one of the most prevalent cancers among the male population and is the second leading cause of cancer death in American men, behind only lung cancer, and is more common in black men and those with a family history. However, when detected early, prostate cancer is highly treatable. This makes awareness, screening and regular check-ups with your doctor vital to prevention.

Join us for a FREE Facebook live discussion on the Columbus Regional Health's Facebook page, when urologist and surgeon Dr. John Francis will lead us through the risks associated with developing prostate cancer, screening options you should consider and the treatment options available, such as robotic surgery. Dr. Francis will also take viewer questions at the end of the brief live discussion.
