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 yearly screening is critical. That's why we operate the Drive Against Prostate Cancer (the Drive), the only national mobile screening program for prostate cancer. The Drive vehicles are sleek 39-foot mobile screening units, touring the country from coast to coast to offer free prostate cancer screenings and an experience that provides a comfort factor often lacking in your traditional doctor's office.

Over 87,000 men have been screened at the Drive Against Prostate Cancer since the program began in 2002, and 20,000 more will be screened this year.

The Drive offers free and confidential screenings 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 Screening

The screening consists of a simple blood test (prostate specific antigen blood test) and an optional physical exam.
