Joseph Cardinale, M.D., medical director of the Father Michael  
J. McGivney Center for Cancer Care and its radiation oncology
department says: When dealing with cancer, early diagnosis
provides the best chance for successful treatment.

“By the time symptoms of prostate cancer appear, often the
cancer is at a later stage and more difficult to treat,” Cardinale
said.
“With early detection and either radiation therapy or
surgery – most men recover from the disease."
" It pays to get checked regularly.”
