  • Should I Get Screened for Prostate Cancer?

    Should I Get Screened for Prostate Cancer?
    Sep 8 2025
    Mark Pomerantz, MD, discusses the complexities of prostate cancer screening. The American Cancer Society recommends that men over 50 with a 10-year or more life expectancy consider PSA screening and consult their primary care doctor. Screening is especially important for men with a family history of the disease and men of West African ancestry, who should begin screening in their 40s. The goal of screening is to identify aggressive cancers while avoiding unnecessary treatments for low-risk prostate cancers, which are often managed with active monitoring.

  • Does Exercise Lower Cancer Risk?

    Does Exercise Lower Cancer Risk?
    Jul 21 2025
    In this episode of Cancer Questions with Dana-Farber, Jennifer Ligibel, MD, explores the link between exercise and cancer risk. Research shows that people who are more active—whether through exercise, household chores, or physical jobs—tend to have a lower risk of developing common cancers such as breast, colon, and prostate cancer. While exercise likely plays a key role, other factors like diet, weight, and regular cancer screenings may also contribute to reduced risk. Staying active is an important step toward overall health and cancer prevention.
