For Dad, this Father’s Day To celebrate Fathers’ Day, the Asian Hospital Medical Center (AHMC) is giving free Digital Rectal Exam (DRE) to males aged 40 years old and up on June 15, from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. DRE is a screening test for prostate cancer available in AHMC. While the prostate specific antigen (PSA) blood test measures the PSA level in the blood stream, DRE is done to examine the prostate gland for irregularities in shape, size and texture. According to the Department of Health (DOH), prostate cancer is the second most widespread cancer among Filipino men, next to lung cancer. It is common in males aged 50 and up, especially those with family history of cancer. Prostate cancer best responds to treatment when detected early. For inquiries about the free Digital Rectal Exam, please contact Asian Hospital and Medical Center Marketing Department at 771-9000 locals 8017 and 8066. Visit asianhospital for more details.
