O.J. Simpson’s Death: A Cautionary Tale of Prostate Cancer [Video]

Prostate cancer isn’t just a statistic—it’s a reality that has touched the lives of many, including O.J. Simpson, who recently passed away at 76 due to this disease. This serves as a stark reminder of the importance of early detection and proactive healthcare.

Here’s what you need to know about prostate cancer:
• It’s the second leading cause of cancer death among men, with Black men often diagnosed at younger ages and with more aggressive forms of the disease.
• Early screening can save lives. The American Cancer Society advises that men at very high risk should consider screening by age 40. High-risk individuals, including Black men and those with a family history of prostate cancer, should start discussions about screening by age 45.
• Standard screening tests include the PSA (Prostate Specific Antigen) test and the DRE (Digital Rectal Exam). If your PSA is over 2.5, annual screenings are recommended.
• Always consult with your healthcare provider to understand the best time and approach for screening.
