Early Detection Is Our Best Chance Against Prostate Cancer.
It’s the reason we make preventive care more accessible to everyone.
About the Moncrief Mobile Screening Clinic.
We know early detection is key to successful cancer treatment. Our Mobile Screening Clinics give you the ability to offer on-site preventive care to the men in your company.
Reasons To Screen
There are no signs of early prostate cancer.
There are no signs of early prostate cancer, which is why screening is so important.
By getting screened, you can detect it early, when treatment is more likely to be successful.
Prostate cancer has a high cure rate when it’s caught early.
Screening for prostate cancer can help detect cancer early, before it spreads. According to the American Cancer Society, when prostate cancer is detected while it’s contained to the prostate or nearby lymph nodes, the fiveyear survival rate is 99%.
A blood test can save a life.
Moncrief uses a PSA blood test to screen for prostate cancer. The test measures how much prostate-specific antigen (PSA) is in your blood. PSA is a protein made by the prostate gland. If the PSA is elevated, then it could be an early sign of prostate cancer.
Why Screen With Us
Comfort and Convenience
We provide a simple blood test in a comfortable environment and flexible appointments that take 15 minutes or less. And we bring it all to you!
Follow-up and Navigation
We communicate results directly to your employees. All patients with normal findings will be kept in our system, and a reminder will be sent to them in 11 months to encourage them to repeat their screening hopefully at another Moncrief mobile screening event.
If further diagnostics are needed, our nurse navigators help schedule a follow-up appointment at UT Southwestern or the employee’s provider of choice.
Extended Education
Prior to your screening event, we can provide education programs from our experts on topics such as cancer prevention, culinary medicine, fitness, and genetic testing. These can be held in person or virtually.
Help Underserved Patients
PSA tests are funded by your company’s insurance provider. This payment goes to Moncrief Cancer Institute and is used to provide free prostate cancer screenings for underserved men who are uninsured and not able to afford a PSA test. One blood test helps two men!
