Yes of course. There are free screenings for other types of cancer too.

LOL - women don't have a prostate gland thus cannot possibly get prostate cancer. Maybe you should pass on this info to your government!

Phew!

Same in Australia - free breast screenings for women 50-69 years every two years, or every year if there's a family history. Not sure about free prostate screening for men, but I'm guessing this is the case here too.

It also doesn't mean that every man that has been diagnosed, treated, and died is counted with that information being accepted into a certified acceptable database either.

Also; the most recent information available on incidence rate of Prostate cancer is 2011.

CDC - Prostate Cancer Rates by Race and Ethnicity

The graphs within shows the incidence/death rates for varied ethnicities per 100,000 sample testing so how does one end up with a 99.9% survival rate when the graph shows multiple ethnicity death rates attributed solely to Prostate cancer all easily above 10% of the incidence rate.

AA Men alone are showing a death rate at what looks to be near 15% of the incidence rate in the last year stats were available.

I'm confused.
