Screening saved my life and the death rate from prostate cancer is down 40 percent in the U.S. since the PSA test came into regular use,” said Rick Lyke, a beer writer who founded Pints for Prostates after successful prostate cancer surgery in 2008. “We truly appreciate Prostate Conditions Education Council for hosting this event and similar screenings in other locations around the U.S.”
