CBS42 sat down with our Dr. Thomas Holley and discussed Coach Hugh Freeze’s prostate cancer diagnosis and the importance of getting screened early. Dr. Holley emphasized having your PSA checked yearly for men aged 45-50 and even earlier for African American men aged 40 to 45.

Holley said he believes it’s advantageous to start early with prostate cancer screenings to form a baseline for a patient. He also said most initial screenings only require a blood test, not a physical exam.
