This can help find cancer at an early stage or any other Prostatic diseases. When abnormal tissue or cancer is found early, it may be easier to treat. By the time symptoms appear, cancer may have begun to spread. All of you men who have come here for the screening have taken the right decision to check any prostatic disease symptoms before they become more worse and then hard to treat. If you go for regular check up, follow the diet, regular exercises, healthy lifestyle then you don’t have to worry about Prostatic diseases, and if treated early you will live longer. Doctors at KMC have done a good service by arranging this Free Screening which will surely benefit many”.
