Second Annual Free Prostate Cancer Screening Event in Central Florida.
Orlando, FL, February 16, 2011 --(PR.com)-- Central FL Prostate Care Center, announces its second annual free prostate cancer screening event in Orlando Florida.

The event, is open to the public and will be held on Saturday, May 7, from 7:30 am to 1pm at the College Park Baptist Church (1914 Edgewater Drive, Orlando, FL 32804).
Screening for prostate cancer can lead to a substantial number of tumors being diagnosed at an earlier and more treatable stage. Prostate cancer is the most common non-skin cancer in men and the third leading cause of male cancer deaths. Prostate cancer can be slow-growing or aggressive. Men with a non-aggressive form may not develop symptoms for many years and not always receive treatment - the side effects of which can be significant. The difficulty with Prostate Cancer is that upon diagnosis, doctors cannot always tell which forms of prostate cancer are aggressive and which are slow-growing.
Prostate Cancer is most common among men between ages 60 and 80. Known risk factors for prostate cancer include age, race and family history. African-American men have a higher incidence of prostate cancer than Caucasian or Asian men in the U.S. The American Cancer Society estimated about 234,460 new cases of prostate cancer in the United States in 2010. About 28,660 men were estimated to die of this disease in 2010.
Dr. Richard R. Lotenfoe will be conducting the prostate cancer screening. Richard R. Lotenfoe, MD, is a Fellow of the American College of Surgeons and Board Certified Urological Surgeon in Orlando, Florida. He is one of an elite group of physicians in the United States certified to perform High Intensity Focused Ultrasound, an outpatient procedure which uses focused ultrasound wave energy to treat cancer cells without an incision or blood loss.
