Some commonly held beliefs about Prostate Cancers (PC):
Most PC are slow growing, one of the slowest growing of all cancers.
Your chances of having a PC already are aprox (age-20)%
So if you are 60, there is a 40% chance of a PC already in you. Small tumors are difficult to find with DRE. PSA is a better tool.
For men over 60, with PC, you will most likely die from something other than your PC.
As I said these are only beliefs. Your urologist is best qualified to make diagnosis.
That’s true. Men usually die with pc than from it.. doesn’t hurt to be tested for it.. well, maybe a little bit. Make sure the doctor doesn’t have both hands on your shoulders during the digital exam.. you get my point..
