UNC Health Care urologists will provide free prostate cancer screen ings today and Thursday to aid in the battle against the second-leading cause of cancer deaths nationwide. The annual screening program, now in its 12th year, will provide walk-in appointments to the public from 1 p.m. to 7 p.m., though hos pital officials encourage appoint ments. The exams will be held at UNC Hospitals’ Urology Clinic, located on the second floor of N.C. Memorial Hospital. The screening involves both a blood test and a physical exam, said David Collins, administrative man ager for the Division of Urology’. Last year 376 men took part in the screenings. Out of that num ber, 34 tests came back abnormal, ■ A Zorbas Restaurant employee was arrested Monday after causing a disturbance at Camelot Village Apartments, according to Chapel Hill police reports.

Collins said the screening, which lasts 20 minutes, is especially help ful for the community at large. “One, it is open to the public, not just UNC or hospital employees, and two, this is free,” he said. “And if you park in the visitors parking deck, we’ll give you a one-hour get out-of-deck-free pass.” The target populations for the tests are all black men over 40, white men over 40 with a family history of the disease and all white men over 50, said Raj Pruthi, director of Urologic Oncology for the Division of Urology. Pruthi said the disease is par ticularly prevalent among black North Carolinians. “Caucasian Americans have a high risk of developing prostate cancer,” Pruthi said. “But African Americans have even a higher risk, and African Americans who live in POLICE LOG according to reports.

The exams help detect cancer ear lier, Pruthi said, which saves lives. “Screening does not change whether you have it or not,” he said. “But it does allow us to come to a diagnosis earlier rather then later.” The screenings at UNC are made possible by donated time from Division of Urology physi cians, reduced lab fees at UNC Hospitals and donated supplies from pharmaceutical companies, Collins said. “Our mission here is health care, whether it be patient educa tion, preventative health care, or active intervention,” Pruthi said. “All three of those are the primary mission of the School of Medicine, UNC Hospitals and every doctor here.” Contact the University Editor at udesk@unc.edu.
