Free prostate cancer screenings to be held by Piedmont Columbus Regional Hospital

COLUMBUS, Ga. (WRBL) — Piedmont Columbus Regional Hospital will offer prostate cancer screenings for men ages 40-69 on Sept. 20 at no cost.

The screening will take place at the John B. Amos Cancer Center from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. Hospital officials say no pre-registration or appointment is needed.

“African American men and those with a family history have a higher risk of developing prostate cancer,” said John B. Amos Cancer Center radiation oncologist Eugene Charles Fortune IV, M.D. “Help us strike out cancer by knowing your numbers and learning what’s at stake. Prostate cancers detected early typically have the highest cure rates.”
