Welcome to Thrive Everyday! Our monthly wellness email has a new name, but still delivers the same great content to help you and your family thrive.

June is National Men’s Health Month, a time to raise awareness of screenings and tests that can detect preventable health problems among men, as well as to promote healthy lifestyle choices and habits to improve mental and physical health.

Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center

Prostate cancer is the second most common cancer among men in the United States, but it is highly treatable in the early stages if detected through a screening. Memorial Sloan Kettering recommends having a prostate-specific antigen (PSA) blood test at around age 45, as the results are a good predictor of your lifetime risk of developing the disease. Men at low risk for prostate cancer may need fewer screenings, or screenings at a later age. Talk with your doctor about when to start and stop screenings, and how often you should have them. Take the quiz to find out what’s right for you.

Princeton partners with Memorial Sloan Kettering to offer MSK Direct, a program that gives you guided access to expert cancer care and provides support throughout your care experience. To use this benefit, call the Princeton University dedicated MSK Direct line toll-free at (844) 303-2123, Monday through Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. or visit MSK Direct for Princeton.
