New prostate cancer guidelines urge men to start screening at specific age

The American Cancer Society is recommending regular prostate cancer screening starting at age 50 for men at average risk under updated guidelines released Nov. 12.

The update shifts from emphasizing individual decisions about screening to explicitly recommending regular testing for eligible men.

The new guidelines call for PSA testing every two years for average-risk men ages 50 through 69. Black men should begin annual screening at 45, regardless of family history. Other men with a father, brother or son diagnosed with prostate cancer should also begin at 45, with the frequency depending on their family history.

JOE BIDEN SHARES HEALTH UPDATE AFTER PROSTATE CANCER DIAGNOSIS WHILE ISSUING WARNING TO OTHERS

Men ages 70 to 74 should discuss whether to continue screening with their doctors; routine screening is not recommended at 75 and older.

Prostate cancer is the second-leading cause of cancer death among U.S. men. For disease that has not spread beyond the prostate or nearby areas, the five-year relative survival rate is nearly 100%, according to the American Cancer Society.

MAN GOES TO DOCTOR TO PROVE HE’S 'IN PERFECT SHAPE,' TEST REVEALS SHOCKING DIAGNOSIS

"Men think it is going to happen to someone else," Dr. Ash Tewari, chair of the Milton and Carroll Petrie Department of Urology at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai Medical Center in New York City, told Fox News.

The doctor, who has performed more than 10,000 prostate cancer operations, said the success rate of treating patients is exceedingly high, but that many men still need to be nudged to get screened.

A prostate cancer screening involves a simple blood test for PSA, which measures the level of prostate-specific antigen, the protein produced by normal and cancerous cells in the prostate gland.

Under the updated guidelines, a PSA level of 3 ng/mL or higher in men younger than 70 warrants a repeat test to confirm the result. There are other explanations for higher PSA levels beyond the existence of prostate cancer, such as an enlarged prostate, inflammation or an infection.

Screening can also identify slow-growing cancers that may never cause harm. The society recommends discussing screening’s benefits and possible harms with a healthcare provider and offering close monitoring as an initial approach for low-risk cancers.

"We know how to cure 95% of them," said Tewari, referring to prostate cancer patients. "I can operate, we have developed medications … to get to them in time, my approach is very simple: Go right where they are."

To reach more men, Tewari and Mount Sinai have created mobile prostate cancer screening vehicles that are deployed in neighborhoods so men can be examined where they live.

The first bus, the Mount Sinai Robert F. Smith Mobile Prostate Cancer Screening Unit, was sent out in New York City in 2022. Last month, another bus was deployed to the Atlanta Falcons-Chicago Bears game at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta. The Winship Cancer Institute at Emory University offered free screenings in partnership with the Atlanta Falcons during the game.

Tewari and Mount Sinai are engaged in other ways to get the word out to men.

Last month, actress Brooke Shields joined Tewari and directed a public service announcement advocating screening and early detection. The goal is to screen more than one million men for prostate cancer under Tewari's Million Strong Men Initiative.

"We need to be able to talk about ...down there," a son says to his father in the PSA video.

"I never got to have the talk with my dad early enough," says Shields in the video. Her father, Frank, died of prostate cancer in 2003 at 61 years old.

"Prostate cancer is treatable when detected early," she adds.

"Prostate cancer is often a disease that families don't talk about until there is a reason to," said Tewari. "We want to change that. Starting the conversation early can give men an opportunity to learn about their risk, talk with their doctors about screening and act when appropriate."

Prostate cancer is one of the most common cancers in men. The ACS estimates that more than 333,000 men in the U.S. will be diagnosed in 2026, and about 36,000 will die from the disease.

UFC 334 Odds and Betting Promos: How to Bet on Hokit vs Gane, Any Other Fight and Claim $2000+ in Bonuses

The UFC returns to Madison Square Garden tonight with two title fights at the top of the card. Heavyweight champion Ciryl Gane makes his first defense against undefeated Josh Hokit, and Kayla Harrison defends her bantamweight title against Amanda Nunes in the co-main event. We’ve rounded up the latest UFC 334 odds and the best betting promos for new users, worth $2,800 in combined bonuses.

Gane (14-2) won the heavyweight title with a TKO of Alex Pereira in June. Hokit (10-0) has won four straight since joining the UFC last year and gets his first main event in his first title shot. Gane opened as a modest favorite around -150, and the line has moved sharply in his direction since.

Harrison defends against Nunes, who returns to the Octagon for the first time since 2023. Nunes is one of the most decorated fighters in UFC history, but Harrison is the betting favorite.

Odds are subject to change

Prediction markets also give Harrison about a 63% chance against Nunes. The Gane-Hokit fight has a rounds total of 3.5, with the Under at -154.

BetMGM bonus code FOXNEWS covers your first bet up to $1,500. An undefeated challenger at nearly 2-to-1 is the perfect swing for a protected bet. Bet $100 on Hokit and collect $285 if he wins. If not, BetMGM refunds your $100 in bonus bets.

BetMGM Bonus Code FOXNEWS: Cover Your First CFB Bet up to $1500, Georgia vs Missouri, Texas-LSU

Two ranked SEC showdowns headline today’s college football slate. No. 2 Georgia hosts No. 18 Missouri in the afternoon, and No. 7 Texas visits No. 14 LSU under the lights in Baton Rouge. BetMGM is offering new users bonus code FOXNEWS to cover their first college football bet up to $1,500. If it loses, BetMGM refunds your stake in bonus bets.

Georgia is 8-1 and has been dominant since its October loss to Auburn, outscoring Florida and Ole Miss 69-15. Missouri is 6-3 after a 34-20 home loss to Texas. The Bulldogs are two-touchdown favorites.

Texas is 7-2 and riding a three-game winning streak that includes wins over Ole Miss and Missouri. LSU is 6-3 under first-year coach Lane Kiffin and looking to rebound from a 31-13 home loss to Alabama.

Odds are subject to change

First Bet Cover is built for a swing like this. Texas is playing better than LSU right now, owns more quality wins and has already proven it can win on the road against good teams. LSU’s offense stalled badly against Alabama, and a Texas defense coordinated by Will Muschamp is built to create the same problems. Getting plus money on the hotter team is the best value on today’s board.

Bet $100 on the Longhorns to win outright and you collect $250 if they get it done. If LSU holds serve at home, BetMGM refunds your $100 in bonus bets.

The Bulldogs will probably win, but at -735, there’s little value in backing them straight up. If you want a piece of the afternoon game, the points with Missouri or the Under are better ways to play it.

FanDuel Promo Code: Bet $5, Get $200 on Your Chosen CFB Game Today Including Georgia vs Missouri

Today’s college football slate is loaded with conference showdowns, led by No. 18 Missouri’s trip to No. 2 Georgia. It’s also a great day to start a four-day betting streak. FanDuel is giving new users $200 in bonus bets by betting $5 a day for four days, with no promo code required.

Georgia is 8-1 and coming off a 42-7 rout of Ole Miss. The Bulldogs have allowed just 15 points combined over their last two games and fewer than 15 per game all season. Missouri is 6-3 after a 34-20 home loss to Texas and has struggled on the road, scoring three points at Ole Miss in October.

Odds are subject to change

Georgia’s defense is the story of this game. The Bulldogs have been suffocating opponents since their loss to Auburn, and Missouri’s offense has been inconsistent away from home. On the other side, Missouri’s best chance to stay competitive is to shorten the game, run the ball and keep Georgia’s offense on the sideline. Both of those paths lead to fewer points. A 27-13 type of game fits the matchup, so use your first $5 on the Under.

Beyond Athens, No. 7 Texas visits No. 14 LSU at 7:30 p.m. ET, and the full slate runs from noon to midnight.

Fanatics Sportsbook Promo Code FOXNEWS350: Bet $20, Get $350 on Texas vs LSU

Saturday night in Baton Rouge features two top-15 teams with very different momentum. Texas has won three straight, while LSU is coming off a loss to Alabama in its own building. Fanatics Sportsbook is offering new users promo code FOXNEWS350 to bet $20 and get $350 in FanCash on Texas vs. LSU.

The Longhorns are 7-2, ranked No. 7 and playing their best football of the season. They beat Mississippi State 31-3, edged Ole Miss 34-27 and went into Columbia last week to beat Missouri 34-20. Texas also owns a road win at Tennessee. Under head coach Steve Sarkisian, this team has shown it can handle hostile environments.

LSU Needs an Answer

LSU is 6-3 and ranked No. 14 under first-year head coach Lane Kiffin. The Tigers rolled through October with wins over Auburn and Mississippi State, but last week’s 31-13 loss to Alabama exposed an offense that stalled repeatedly. Now they face another top-10 opponent with their playoff hopes on the line.

Odds are subject to change

The line reflects LSU’s home-field edge, but it doesn’t match the form of these two teams. Texas is the hotter team, has the better recent résumé and has already won on the road against quality SEC opponents. LSU’s offense struggled to move the ball last week, and a Texas defense that’s been one of the better units in the conference should give the Tigers similar problems.

Getting more than a field goal with the team playing better right now is a strong spot. Take the Longhorns and the points. Your $350 in FanCash arrives win or lose.

The quarterback matchup will decide this one. Arch Manning has to handle one of the SEC’s most aggressive pass rushes in one of its loudest stadiums. Sam Leavitt needs a bounce-back game after last week. Whoever protects the football better probably wins.

Two top-15 teams, a night game in Death Valley and a home underdog worth backing. New users can bet $20 on Texas vs. LSU and get $350 in FanCash with Fanatics Sportsbook promo code FOXNEWS350.

Underdog Promo Code FOXNEWS Unlocks Play $10, Get $50 for Georgia vs Missouri or Any Other Game

Georgia’s run toward the College Football Playoff continues this afternoon in Athens. The No. 2 Bulldogs host No. 18 Missouri, one week after rolling Ole Miss 42-7 on the road. Underdog is offering new users promo code FOXNEWS to play $10 and get $50 in bonus entries on Georgia vs. Missouri or any other game on the board.

Georgia is 8-1 and looks like the most complete team in the SEC again. After a 27-24 loss to Auburn in October, the Bulldogs have outscored Florida and Ole Miss by a combined 69-15. They average about 41 points per game and allow fewer than 15.

Missouri is 6-3 and coming off a 34-20 home loss to Texas. The Tigers have quality wins over Texas A&M and Florida, but they’ve struggled away from home, including a 31-3 loss at Ole Miss and a 31-24 loss at Mississippi State.

Odds are subject to change

Gunner Stockton passing touchdowns (higher): Georgia’s offense has been finishing drives all season, and Stockton is at the center of it. Missouri’s defense just allowed 34 points at home to Texas, and the Bulldogs should find the end zone through the air more than once. In a game Georgia is expected to control, red zone trips will come often.

Gunner Stockton rushing yards (higher): Stockton isn’t just a passer. He’s shown he can pick up yards with his legs when defenses drop into coverage, and Missouri will try to take away Georgia’s deep passing game. That leaves room for scrambles and designed keepers, especially near the goal line.

Underdog’s offer works on any game, not just the Bulldogs. No. 7 Texas visits No. 14 LSU tonight at 7:30 p.m. ET, and there’s a full slate of college football from noon to midnight. The weekend also includes NFL Week 10 on Sunday, giving your bonus entries plenty of places to go.

The Bulldogs’ path to the top seed in the College Football Playoff runs through November, and this is one of the last ranked opponents on the regular-season schedule. A dominant performance would strengthen Georgia’s case as the team to beat.

Betr Promo Code FOXNEWS: Unlock $200 in Bonuses and 4 Free Picks for Any CFB Game Including Texas-LSU

The best night game in college football this week is in Baton Rouge. No. 7 Texas brings a three-game winning streak into Tiger Stadium to face No. 14 LSU, which is looking to bounce back from a loss to Alabama. Betr is offering new users promo code FOXNEWS to unlock $200 in bonuses and four free picks for any college football game, including Texas-LSU.

Texas is 7-2 and coming off a 34-20 win at Missouri. The Longhorns have also beaten Ole Miss and won at Tennessee this season. LSU is 6-3 and needs a response after last week’s 31-13 loss to Alabama, which followed a strong October that included wins over Auburn and Mississippi State.

The market sees a close game. LSU opened as a 4.5-point favorite, and the total sits at 45.5.

Odds are subject to change

Arch Manning rushing attempts (higher): LSU’s defense lives in opposing backfields, and Manning will need his legs to survive the pressure. Between designed runs and scrambles, his carry count should climb in a game where throwing lanes will be tight.

Arch Manning passing yards (lower): The flip side of the same idea. A night game in Tiger Stadium and an aggressive LSU pass rush make it tough to sustain a passing attack. Texas will lean on the run and short throws to protect the ball, which caps Manning’s yardage.

Sam Leavitt completions (higher): LSU will want to get Leavitt in rhythm early after last week’s struggles. Expect quick throws, screens and short passes designed to slow down Texas’ defense. Those add up to completions, even if the big plays don’t come.

Sam Leavitt interceptions (higher): Here’s the contrarian swing. Leavitt entered November with eight interceptions, and Texas’ defense, coordinated by Will Muschamp, is built to force mistakes. If LSU falls behind, he’ll be pushed into riskier throws.

All four picks tell the same story: a physical, defensive game where both quarterbacks are under pressure. That’s how the market sees it with a 45.5 total, and it’s how SEC night games in Baton Rouge tend to play out.

Underdog Promo Code FOXNEWS: Play $10, Get $50 on Any CFB Game Including Georgia-Missouri, Texas-LSU

Week 11 brings two big SEC matchups with playoff stakes. No. 2 Georgia hosts No. 18 Missouri in Athens at 3:30 p.m. ET, and No. 7 Texas visits No. 14 LSU under the lights in Baton Rouge at 7:30 p.m. ET. Underdog is offering new users promo code FOXNEWS to play $10 and get $50 in bonus entries on any college football game, including both headliners.

Georgia is 8-1 and coming off a 42-7 demolition of Ole Miss. Missouri is 6-3 after a 34-20 home loss to Texas. The Bulldogs are favored by two touchdowns.

Pick: Gunner Stockton passing yards (higher). Stockton has been efficient all season, and Georgia’s offense is averaging about 41 points per game. Missouri will load up to stop the run, which opens the passing game. At home against a defense that just gave up 34 to Texas, Stockton should have room to throw.

Texas has won three straight and just beat Missouri on the road. LSU is 6-3 and looking to bounce back from a 31-13 loss to Alabama last week. The Tigers are favored by 4.5 at home.

Pick: Arch Manning rushing yards (higher). LSU brings a fierce pass rush, and Tiger Stadium at night is one of the loudest environments in football. When the pocket collapses, Manning has the athleticism to escape and pick up chunks with his legs. Expect designed runs and scrambles to be a big part of Texas’ plan.

Pick: Sam Leavitt passing yards (higher). Leavitt entered November with more than 2,100 passing yards and 17 touchdowns. After last week’s struggles against Alabama, LSU will want to get its passing game going early, and Texas’ defense has been tested through the air.

Odds are subject to change

The full Week 11 slate runs from noon to midnight, with conference races tightening across the country. There’s plenty of room to build Pick’em entries well beyond the two SEC headliners.
