Prostate Cancer
#prostate cancer, #PSA, #prostate-specific antigen, #robotic surgery, #radiation therapy, #prostate biopsy, #family history, #androgen deprivation therapy, #early screening
Prostate cancer often has no symptoms in its early stages, so it is frequently discovered only after it has progressed significantly. Early detection is possible through the PSA (prostate-specific antigen) blood test, and when found early, surgery or radiation therapy can offer a favorable outlook. Regular screening is important for men age 45 and older, especially those with a family history.2026-06-26
