If caught early very treatable
There’s some prostate cancer that a gentleman may develops later in life and he will ultimately die of some other form of chronic condition without ever receiving cancer treatments. Then there are some forms where it ain’t pretty. There’s controversy on whether or not PSA screening is appropriate. There can be false positives that lead to anxiety and biopsy’s that are painful and unnecessary. There’s also a strong genetic link to prostate cancer especially African American men. Do some research.
If you have a family history then get screened early. If you don’t have a strong family history around age 50 start getting screened. Look up U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) PSA recommendations.
