August 14, 2009, ST. LOUIS – Dave Sinclair will join for the fourth year in a row the institution where he underwent prostate cancer treatment – the Siteman Cancer Center at Barnes-Jewish Hospital and Washington University School of Medicine – the Siteman Cancer Center at Barnes-Jewish St. Peters Hospital and the St. Louis Rams in offering a series of free PSA screenings at three Dave Sinclair locations in the St. Louis Metro area. To help facilitate the Siteman Cancer Center in bringing easy access to the public, Sinclair will host the PSA screenings from 4pm – 7pm at three of his locations:

Tuesday, September 8
Sinclair Buick GMC
5655 S. Lindbergh Blvd., St. Louis, MO 63123

Tuesday, September 15
Sinclair Ford
7466 S. Lindbergh Blvd., St. Louis, MO 63125

Tuesday, September 22
Sinclair Lincoln Mercury St. Peters
4760 North Service Road, St. Peters, MO 63376

Those eligible for this screening are men 45 and older, men 40 and older with a family history, African-American males 40 and older, men who have not had a PSA drawn in the last year and are not currently being treated for prostate cancer.

Prostate cancer is the most commonly diagnosed non-skin cancer in the United States with one in six American men developing prostate cancer in the course of his lifetime. A PSA – or prostate specific antigen – test is a simple blood test looking at an enzyme produced in the prostate. “The PSA is the critical element in early detection,” says Gerald L. Andriole, MD, chief of urology at Barnes-Jewish Hospital and Washington University School of Medicine. “If your PSA level is high, your health care provider may recommend that you get a prostate biopsy to determine if you have cancer.

A Rams player and Rams cheerleaders will also be on hand at the Sinclair dealerships for autographs and photos. The PSA screenings are made possible through a partnership of the Siteman Cancer Center and the Dave Sinclair Automotive Group.
