ABSTRACT
Background:
Prostate cancer is a serious health problem that is very common among men aged more than 50 years. In 2012, the age standardized incidence rate of prostate cancer in Saudi Arabia was 4.5/100,000.Screening of prostate cancer with prostate specific antigen [PSA] can help in early detection of prostate cancer which will eventually lead to more appropriate treatment and less mortality. The rate of PSA screening is almost twice among individuals with good knowledge compared to those with poor knowledge. The current study was conducted to assess the awareness level about the importance of prostate cancer screening among men aged more than 40 years in Saud Arabia.
