The Drive Against Prostate Cancer

It's free. No appointments. No insurance needed. Snacks! And it features a big flat screen TV with satellite cable to watch the big game while you wait. It's the way every doctor's office ought to be!

ZERO - The Project to End Prostate Cancer understands it's hard enough with busy schedules for men to fit in regular doctor visits, but early detection is critical. That's why we operate the Drive Against Prostate Cancer (the Drive), the only nationwide, mobile, free prostate cancer testing program. The Drive vehicles are sleek 39-foot mobile screening units, touring the country from coast to coast to offer free prostate cancer testing and an experience that provides a comfort factor often lacking in your traditional doctor's office.

More than 100,000 men have been tested on the Drive Against Prostate Cancer since the program began in 2002. Click here to see the feature story on the 100,000th man tested in September 2009.

The Drive offers free and confidential testing thanks to our sponsors and our lab partners Siemens Diagnostics for donating the test kits and University of Michigan Labs for analyzing the PSA test.

About the Free Prostate Cancer Testing

Early detection of prostate cancer consists of a simple blood test (prostate specific antigen blood test) and an optional physical exam.
