About the Screening

The Kimmel Cancer Center at Jefferson and Prostate Health International's Gary Papa Run are offering free prostate screenings as part of a research program. Prostate cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death among men. Screening is important because prostate cancer shows no symptoms in its earliest stages.

Screening is recommended for all men ages 35 years and older.

During the free screening, you can expect:

  • A blood test for prostate specific antigen (PSA), testosterone and cholesterol
  • A digital rectal exam

Date and Time:
