Winthrop Urology (20 Hicksville Road, Suite 3, Massapequa); 3:00 – 7:00 pm
(Long Island, NY) “Prostate cancer is the second leading cause of death in men,” said Senator Kemp Hannon (R-Nassau). “The American Cancer Society estimates 221,000 new cases of prostate cancer to be diagnosed in 2015, with almost 28,000 succumbing to the disease. Early detection of prostate cancer saves lives, which is why I’m partnering with Winthrop Urology to provide free prostate cancer screening.”
Hannon and Winthrop Urology will be holding a FREE Prostate Screening on Tuesday, September 29th, at Winthrop Urology (20 Hicksville Road, Suite 3, Massapequa) from 3:00 to 7:00 pm.
Registration is required and appointments can be made by calling Senator Hannon’s Community Office at 516-739-1700. Screenings will include a PSA blood test and an optional digital rectal exam.
“September is Prostate Cancer Awareness Month,” said Hannon. “So now is a perfect time to schedule a free screening — if caught early, prostate cancer can be very treatable. It’s extremely important for men to be tested, as early as the age of 40.”
