BAKERSFIELD, Calif. (KERO) — Dr Ravi Patel with the Comprehensive Blood and Cancer Center says early detection and treatment options for both ovarian and prostate cancer have evolved significantly in the past decade or so.
September is Ovarian and Prostate Cancer awareness month, and Dr. Patel says it's important to talk regularly with your doctor about what you experience, especially if you've noticed any changes in your health.
Dr Patel says early signs of ovarian cancer can appear as excessive bloating and discomfort. For prostate cancer, he encourages regular PSA tests for men 45 and older.
