Question
A 29-year-old male feels tired and unwell, worried that he may have prostate cancer, and would like to ask: How is prostate cancer screening conducted?
Answer
Prostate cancer screening involves using a variety of simple and effective examination methods to detect tumors early before the appearance of related symptoms. The commonly used screening methods in clinical practice include digital rectal examination (DRE), prostate-specific antigen (PSA) test, transrectal ultrasound (TRUS) examination, prostate MRI, and transrectal ultrasound-guided rectal prostate biopsy. Among them, the commonly used and basic screening methods are digital rectal examination and PSA test. Please report specific symptoms to the doctor for an effective examination.
