Prostate cancer is the most common cause of non-cutaneous cancer and second leading cause of cancer death in men in the US. Screening for prostate cancer is not always straightforward and can pose challenges including failure to address racial disparity. In this session, speakers will discuss current prostate cancer screening guidelines, screening methods (including benefits and harms), and advancements to help address these challenges. Moderated discussion and Q&A will immediately follow these presentations.
