Prostate exam log - Health forms for healthy living

Prostate cancer is the second most common cancer among men, and the third most
common cause of death in men. For this reason early detection is important.

When it's still confined to the prostate gland there is a better chance for successful
treatment with minimal or short term side affects.

Prostate cancer is very rare before the age of forty, but the risk factor rises rapidly after
the age of fifty. About two out of three prostate cancers are found in men over sixty
five. It occurs more often in African- American men than in men of other races.
African-American men are also more likely to be diagnosed at an advanced stage largely
due to poor screening.

It is important starting at the age of fifty for men to get annual prostate cancer
screenings.

Screening is done using a (PSA) blood test and a (DRE) digital rectal exam. The exam is
very brief and is very instrumental in early detection.

Our Prostate exam log allows you to document your age at the time of the exam the
date and results. Since exams are yearly our log is a nice reminder of the approaching
date of your next screening.
