Dear Colleagues,

Prostate Cancer Screening: A Decision Guide for African Americans is now
available The guide is organized in an easy-to-read question and answer
format that discusses the prostate gland, prostate cancer, and the
screening tests for the disease. The guide is designed specifically for
African American men, provides basic information and encourages men to
decide whether screening is the right choice for them. It is currently
available to download as a PDF file. The Web version of the guide will
also be available in on the Cancer Web site in the near future.
