Ever wonder why men don't stay in the race as long as their female counterparts? Men's health is different, and men's healthcare issues must be treated differently.
Sparks provides health information for men in a number of ways: seminars and screenings, links to other web sites and treatments in men's health such as brachytherapy, radioactive seed implantation.
Screenings
Prostate cancer is the most common form of cancer in men, and all men between 50 and 70 should be tested annually. Testing should start at age 40 for African American men and men with a family history of prostate cancer. Contact your Sparks physician to schedule an appointment.
