PULLMAN, WA— Dr. John Keizur, Urologist with Pullman Regional Hospital’s Palouse Urology Center, will host his 29th Annual Prostate Cancer Screening and Exam Clinic on Tuesday, September 15, from 8 a.m. to noon at Palouse Urology Center, which is located at 825 SE Bishop Blvd. Suite 101, in Pullman. This clinic is provided at no charge and is walk-in; no appointment necessary.
Patients will receive a PSA (prostate-specific antigen) blood test (sample taken on site) and an optional exam to help detect early signs of potential prostate cancer. No appointments or fasting are needed , and patients will receive results through MyChart or by mail in less than one week.
The American Urological Association and American Cancer Society recommends baseline screening for men between ages 45 and 50 (or as early as 40 for higher risk), in addition to routine screening.
“This is an annual reminder to stay on top of your health,” says Dr. John Keizur, Urologist with Palouse Urology Center. “When it comes to your health and urology, don’t put it off, especially if you’re a man over the age of 50. This simple blood test and exam can mean early detection of prostate cancer. Early detection almost always means better outcomes.”
Dr. Keizur is a board-certified urologist and founded Palouse Urology in 1996. He treats children, adolescents and adults for common problems like bladder and kidney infections, kidney stones, difficulties urinating or with incontinence, erectile dysfunction, low testosterone, and other complex urological conditions. Dr. Keizur is a da Vinci robotics surgeon who utilizes the latest minimally-invasive surgical techniques.
