🏈 If you watched the Super Bowl, you probably saw the “Relax your tight end” ad about prostate cancer screening.

🔁 HOW OFTEN?

• If your PSA is low (1 ng/mL), repeat every 2–4 years.

• If your PSA is 1–3 ng/mL, repeat every 1–2 years.

• The sweet spot for screening benefit is ages 55–69.

• After 75, screening is generally only recommended for very healthy individuals.

✅ THE BIG TAKEAWAY:

You do NOT need a digital re**al exam to screen for prostate cancer. The evidence shows DRE has poor diagnostic accuracy as a screening tool — pooled sensitivity of just 51% and specificity of 59%. A simple PSA blood draw is enough to start the process.

So yes, you can relax your tight end. 😅

Talk to your doctor. Know your risk. Get screened.

⭐️ You don’t need to wait till :

✌🏽Take 2 minutes to know your risk:

It’s not a diagnosis.

It’s information.

And information saves lives

✨Risk models like BCRAT (Gail Model) are recommended to identify who may benefit from enhanced screening.

Women with ≥20% lifetime risk should receive annual breast MRI in addition to mammography

MRI detects cancers that mammography can miss, especially in dense breast tissue.
