Prostate Cancer Risk for Former Technicians


We are observing that there are a number of technicians in various trades who are developing cancer from exposure to Carbon Tetrachloride in the 1970s and 80s. Unfortunately some don't recognize the risk until it is too late. If you wait until symptoms appear the cancer may have already moved from your prostate to other organs. We have notice several former technicians only discovered their cancer after it had evolved to Stage Four.

It is strongly recommended that all Former Technicians get an annual PSA test.

Some  of the technical trades are:
