While the mortality rate for breast cancer in the U.S. has significantly declined from its peak in 1989, incidence among younger women has steadily increased each year since 2001, according to the American Cancer Society.

Dr. Derek Jensen, a urologist with Advanced Urologic Associates, joined the Afternoon Drive to discuss prostate cancer screening guidelines and the importance of early detection of the disease.

Prostate cancer is the most common type of cancer among men globally and the second leading cause of death for American men.

For 65-year-old Dale Wilkinson, prostate issues run in the family. Seeing his father and grandfather struggle over the years gave him the strength to pursue the relief they never got.

A new study co-led by a Saint Luke's researcher found that EMS practices for out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) are different in predominantly Black/Hispanic areas compared to mostly white areas.

Dr. Ryan Miller, urologist at Advanced Urologic Associates at Saint Luke’s East Hospital, joins us in raising awareness and providing educational opportunities for men’s health issues.

New research shows the sooner a lay rescuer starts CPR on a person having a cardiac arrest at home or in public, the better the chances of saving the person's life and protecting their brain function.

According to the National Cancer Institute, about 40% of women have dense breast tissue, which makes it more difficult to find breast cancer early.

A new study provides evidence that even among those who receive CPR, Black or female individuals are less likely to survive an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest than White or male individuals.

Dr. Mary Mitchell, chief of breast radiology at Saint Luke's, talks to KSHB about what dense breast tissue is and how it impacts your risk of developing breast cancer.
