Penn Highlands Mon Valley to Host Free Prostate Cancer Screening

Penn Highlands Mon Valley is hosting a free Prostate Cancer Education and Screening Program on Wednesday, September 24, 2025, at 4:00 PM in the Anthony M. Lombardi Education Conference Center.

Mohsen Isaac, MD, a board-certified radiation oncologist at Penn Highlands Radiation Oncology in Monongahela, will provide an informative program on the importance of early detection of prostate cancer. Following the program, attendees will have the option to receive an exam by a member of the Penn Highlands Mon Valley medical staff along with a Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA) blood test.

The screening is intended for men ages 50-75 who do not already have a diagnosis of prostate problems as well as for those with a family history of prostate cancer.

Prostate cancer is the second most common type of cancer in men and the second leading cause of cancer deaths in men. Approximately 1 in 8 men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer during their lifetime, and the rates of prostate cancer have been rising in Pennsylvania. Prostate cancer is a serious disease. Fortunately, most people are diagnosed before it spreads, and early treatment is often very successful.
