The doctors who lead the fight against prostate cancer have seized Gov. Tom Wolf’s diagnosis as a teachable moment.
Urology of Central PA is offering free prostate exams and screenings.
One in six men will develop prostate cancer, said Dr. R. Scott Owens of Urology of Central PA, who is not involved in Mr. Wolf’s care.
