Men Who Neglect This Crucial Practice Face 45% Higher Risk of Prostate Cancer

1. “Screening Always Leads to Unnecessary Treatment”
Fact: Not all elevated PSA results mean cancer. Further testing (e.g., biopsies) confirms diagnosis, and active surveillance may be recommended for low-risk cases.
2. “The DRE Is Too Invasive”
Fact: The DRE is quick, painless, and performed by trained professionals. Discomfort is minimal compared to the potential benefits.
3. “Prostate Cancer Isn’t Deadly”
Fact: While some cases grow slowly, others are aggressive and life-threatening if untreated. Screening helps differentiate between the two.
