                    [Summary] => The Philippine Cancer Society (PCS) yesterday urged all men above 40 years old to undergo Digital Rectal Examination (DRE) annually to prevent rectal and colon cancer.


PCS executive director Quintin Tan said the test is important to detect cancer since people in this age bracket are usually prone to developing colon and rectal cancer.


Tan added that upon reaching the age 50, both men and women are advised to undergo the Fecal Occult Blood Test annually because such cancer types tend to rise in that age group.
