Testing for Prostate

Prostate cancer is one of the most common cancers among American #men; about 1 in 8 men will be diagnosed with it during their lifetime. According to the American Cancer Society, testing for prostate-specific antigen (#PSA) levels in a man’s blood can help detect prostate cancer early which can give the best chance of successful #treatment. However, a doctor’s visit is always recommended for a full examination.
This video will cover what you need to know about testing for #prostate cancer plus how the PSA test works. To navigate to specific points in this video, see below:

You can measure the levels of prostate-specific antigen (PSA) from home with LetsGetChecked’s at-home PSA test. Online results will be available within 2-5 days and our dedicated medical team will be available to answer any questions you may have. It’s important to remember that a raised PSA can occur due to non-cancerous enlargement of the prostate and a doctor’s visit is always recommended for a complete examination.

[@torstenheling3830]

Let’s NOT get checked!

[@torstenheling3830]

Just don’t ever have a PSA Test!

[@theremakers.]

why?

[@torstenheling3830]

@@theremakers. 25% false negative rate, 25% false positive rate. Test was never designed as a „screening“ test to begin with but as a monitoring test post diagnosis, so its use to „screen“ for prostate CA is off-label, risky und often harmful. Over-diagnosis of harmless tumors that many histologists says should be re reclassified as benign, mutilating unnecessary treatments.

Do not do a biopsy insist upon an MRI prostate test instead as it’s much less invasive much more accurate and the only reason urologist wants to do a biopsy is because he makes a small fortune on each patient and makes nothing on the MRI. the MRI is much more accurate and non-invasive!
