Canadian health officials are waiting more men for prostate cancer testing

Because only two in every five Canadian men from the high-risk group (most likely, middle aged) apparently have tested for prostate cancer in the past year,the health officials think that, with such a low amount of high-risk men being tested, could be a lot more undiagnosed prostate problems under development.

By consequence, health officials are calling more men over the age of 45 to get screened for prostate cancer, by measuring the prostate specific antigen (PSA) levels and undergoing a digital rectal exam (DRE).
