A good analogy for this is auto accessories. They develop and market them and suddenly everyone needs the item. Of course it may end up killing you do to power, speed, loss of control.
Person psa experience: did blood test, doc said psa was elevated, could be a false reading, could mean I had sex the morning of the blood test(very likely).
Second blood test: all good, normal numbers.
The new doc explains prostate cancer this way, most men will die WITH prostate cancer, not from prostate cancer.
And your age correlates with the percentage of.
That was stated in this article: 40-49=-9 40% chance, etc.

---- "The new doc explains prostate cancer this way, most men will die WITH prostate cancer, not from prostate cancer."

Years ago, a physician (a generation older than me) I knew socially and whose hobby reading was on "longevity" told me an anecdote from his old anatomy professor. More or less, it reflects your comment of today. Post mortems in anatomy classes reveal everybody's got something more than they think on its way towards death. From young to old. We are "fearfully and wonderfully made," asserts Psalm 139. Rather well to remember such in the midst of media screaming headlines to raise the blood pressure. All best.
