The Prostate Cancer Foundation of NZ encourages all men over 40 to have an annual prostate check. If you’re over 50 then consider an annual prostate check that includes both a PSA blood test and digital rectal examination (DRE).
Prostate cancer is the most common cancer in New Zealand men. More than 3000 New Zealand men are diagnosed with prostate cancer each year and 1 in 10 will develop prostate cancer during their lifetime. Last year more than 550 kiwi men died from this disease and many deaths could have been prevented by early detection and healthy lifestyle choices.
