[@tedrichland8181]

Dr. Schaeffer was my surgeon for my successful prostate cancer surgery which took place in 2023. He is my hero beyond words and he saved my life. I feel blessed to have had such a world renowned surgeon perform this surgery. He is a very special person and very meticulously explained the options in play. All of his staff are just wonderful. I’m still putting things in context now as a cancer survivor but I’m so grateful to Dr. Schaeffer and Northwestern. There is none better in the world in my opinion.

[@thejeffbosley]

Agreed!

[@parkernew8076]

I used to work with Dr. Schaeffer at Northwestern as a nurse. He is an amazing surgeon and super nice guy! OR 9 is “his” robot room for urology. So cool to see him on here with Rich Roll.

[@rogerbernard9572]

My PSA was 5.5. Doctor scared the hell out of me and sent me to a urologist where I had several biopsies taken. Result: no cancer …that was great news, but the stress, after effects and costs were almost beyond dealing with. I’m 73 years old - Swim 1 mile, run/walk 1.5 miles every day and stick with a Mediterranean diet (pure vegetarian diet gives me painful gastritis). I’m not on any prescription drugs. I’m not telling not to get a biopsy, but I now know there are many other less invasive procedures offered today that were no offered even 5- years ago when I had my procedure done. Do your research before you become one of the sheep.

[@luismart7714]

Very similar story. Elevated PSA (5.2) in my early 50s and the urologist sent me directly to a biopsy. It was horrible. Later I found out that there are some other avenues that he could have chosen. I firmly believe that he wanted to charge my insurance for the procedure. I never went back to him.

[@Jzsons]

My psa was 6,i had a biopsy, stage 3.

[@ari123621]

​@@Jzsonsdo you try Thomas Seyfried protocol as well now?

[@piezoe]

@@Jzsons what was your age with PSA of 6? Six is not abnormal for age 70 or above. Your prostate continues to grow, the larger the prostate the higher the PSA value for a normal prostate. More important is the PSA score relative to prostate size and the change in PSA with time. You need an MRI to get the size and that's ridiculously expensive in the USA. Have it done in Brazil for a tiny fraction of the cost. (Or in any developed country, other than the U.S.)

[@mrofnocnon]

[@slackeratslack]

I haven't listened to this yet, but I'm hoping it will make everyone stop looking for a reason why someone gets cancer. I've just finished 4 weeks of radiotherapy for prostate cancer and will continue with 2 years of hormone reduction therapy. I'm 64, fit and healthy. I had no symptoms at all except a slightly elevated PSA. It was curative RT so I'm staying positive and hopeful. Whilst getting radiotherapy I met people with lung cancer who'd never smoked in their lives. A moderate drinker and non smoker with oesophageal cancer. Yes, do everything you can to avoid cancer but it can still happen to you. Get screened/checked guys. Just to avoid some confusion - I live in Scotland so an MRI cost me nothing. That showed a growth. The biopsy cost me nothing. That confirmed cancer. 2 years of hormone treatment will cost me nothing. 20 radiotherapy treatment cost me nothing. Today my PSA is 0.028. It was 11. Everyone telling me getting tested is a waste of time I can't agree with.

[@newfguy1826]

Your recommendations are misguided and uninformed

[@slackeratslack]

@intelasset hi. The limits seem to be different in different countries. For years my PSA was about 0.7-9 above the limit for my age. So instead of 3 it was 3.7. But after a few years of not bothering to get it checked it went up to 11. It should have been below 5. It's impossible for me to know if it crept up or suddenly jumped. Thankfully the cancer had not spread. All the best.

[@slackeratslack]

@@newfguy1826 I'm speaking from my experience and had I not been sent for a PSA test and then MRI, my life would be very different.

[@rezedent9104]

​@newfguy1826 ??? Am I misunderstanding that the gentleman you are berating has diagnosed prostate cancer and not just a high PSA test?? Before screaming more about how cancer screening is the devil, hospitals are in profit mode, go start your own solution-based channel. I may be one of the first to listen to your channel. Otherwise, I'm going with the information this expert has presented.

[@mrofnocnon]

@@slackeratslack What did we do before the PSA test in 1992? A test meant for lab work not prostate screening.

[@mrofnocnon]

Ben Stiller was very lucky to have you as his surgeon.

[@newfguy1826]

Dr. Schaeffer is an expert on surgical treatment of prostate cancer but he is no expert on prostate cancer screening nor prevention. The USPTF which is the expert organization on medical screening does NOT recommend routine screening for prostate CA. Urologists may disagree, but they have an inherent financial conflict of interest. Over half of men over age 70 have prostate cancer which will not likely kill them. Routine screening leads to unnecessary harm from biopsies, surgery, and chemo that will NOT affect lifespan but will cause injury resulting in bladder incontinence and erectile dysfunction. Don't fall prey to the medical industrial complex. I am a physician.

[@victorm.perezmora2624]

When you talk about routine screening, what are you referring to? What is the procedure for routine screening?

[@jakepuravida]

Thank you so much for your comment. As a family physician, I was disappointed that there was no mention of why he deviates from the American Urological association guidelines. The American Academy of Family Physicians guidelines recommend against routine screening for prostate cancer. “ The American Urological Association recommends that men aged 55 to 69 years with a life expectancy of more than 10 to 15 years be informed of the benefits and harms of screening and engage in shared decision making with their clinicians, taking into account each man’s values and preferences. It notes that to reduce the harms of screening, the screening interval should be 2 or more years. The American Urological Association also notes that decisions about screening, including potentially starting screening before age 55 years, should be individual ones for African American men and men with a family history of prostate cancer”.

[@pcwalshmd]

Sadly his advice is outdated like many primary care doctors. The USPSTF no longer advises against it and sadly over the time they did many men missed the opportunity to be diagnosed with curable disease and were diagnosed with advanced disease and today are dying from the disease. If you are a healthy man with a life expectancy of over 10 years you should be tested especially if you are at higher risk because have African ancestry or a positive family history. Half of men who die from prostate cancer are diagnosed after the age 75!! If you are healthy and have a PSA at age 75 of over 3 you need to continue testing

[@Cheezyquackers2]

[@danielholeman]

How does ejaculation influence prostate health? Any studies on this? Like frequency studies.

[@piezoe]

This is a supper important question! Several recent large studies of men on TRT hint at maintaining normal levels of Testosterone being associated with lower incidence of Prostate Cancers. Most likely those with higher levels of Testosterone ejaculate more frequently regardless of age, i.e., it's possible there is a correlation between ejaculation frequency and prostate health. If that's true, the question becomes whether the ejaculation frequency is causative or just incidental. At Johns Hopkins there is a current Study using Testosterone to treat PC! This turns on its head the standard thinking among urologists. Everything regarding PC and Testosterone goes back to one particular 1940s paper by Hodges and Huggins. The evidence is building that the conclusion drawn in that paper is wrong. (you can access this paper via the NIH site PubMed, but the paper is behind a pay wall. )

[@robverro566]

There is a video on the Diary Of A CEO channel which talks about it. The urologist guest said studies show that ejuaculation plays a negligible role.

[@gymjoedude]

In other talks he said to ejaculate 20 times a month and possibly keeping testosterone and estrogen at youthful ratios.

[@EvoraGT430]

17:47 is the salient lifestyle point and agrees very much with "The China Study" book, which is also awesome.

[@iconoclast6994]

Advances with robotic and radiation are remarkable. Yet, the groundbreaking developments that Surgeons and Radiation Oncologists are reluctant to discuss with patients, are focal approaches that are far less consequential. Why would folks want to accept bowel, urinary or erectile side effects, if given a choice? Will Focal laser, Tulsa Pro ablation or other focal approaches be discussed here?

[@dad242]

Terrific interview but I wish the doc would have talked more about what foods elevate or are unhealthy for the prostate. Processed or charred meats yes but what else? I'm sure there's a list. :)

[@asldfjkalsdfjasdf]

No word on post vasectomy pain? There are risks to every operation! Never heard a real discussion on how high the risks really are. All the studies i have seen have double digit percentages but it is hard to dissect on how much is due to bad surgeons, basic dangers during the procedure or how the body reacts to the changes afterwards.

He also did not mention anything about the potential risk of prostate cancer associated with vasectomy.

Is there strong evidence of the meat and prostate cancer risk? Wouldn't the traditional Maasai and Inuit peoples have super high rates of disease if so? I've known of men who were healthy well up into their 90's who ate meat for almost every meal.

[@dad242]

Guessing it's the chemicals they're putting into the food nowadays. Seed oils, artificial sweeteners, tap water. It's the garbage in the foods. All the farmer's locally to me here in PA live well over life expectancy and die of something else other then prostate cancer. I think the prob goes deeper.

[@udou365]

At 51min. Dr states that Testosterone accelerates the growth of prostate cancer. Can you have him provide the research that provides that information. That was a very profound statement. There's a lot of men on TRT me being one of them at age 60 that would like to learn more about that statement. PSA level at 5.1

[@piezoe]

Indeed! That's the number one question. does it or doesn't it. Is this statement supported by proper studies or is it simply a myth passed down by generations of MD's following Hodges and Huggins 1941 paper which evidence is building for it having been wrongly concluded.

The anesthesia did not quite reach the whole prostate and I didn't feel the first 9 ..but I some what felt the 10th and felt the last two. I almost fainted. I broke out into cold sweat pale and they brought ice packs to put on my neck or head. Do it knocked out but as fast as possible. I dont know why they just don't go straight to a PET Scan instead of biopsy first. Maybe it is the cost
