November is men's health awareness month, and prostate cancer screening recommendations have evolved over the last several years. Prostate cancer is the most common cancer among men in the United States. Men should be aware of their personal risk for prostate cancer, and the role that early detection plays.

In this PartnerMD Wellness series webinar, you'll explore:

• The role of a digital rectal exam and a screening PSA for early detection of prostate cancer.
• The guideline recommendations for screening and age at which a man should be having discussions and obtaining a baseline PSA test with either a urologist or their PCP.
• The role that family history, medical history, and demographics play in prostate cancer risk assessment.

Join Dr. Andrew Tracey from Virginia Urology on Tuesday, November 16 at 12:00 pm for a one-hour webinar and Q&A session to get the latest information.
