Prostate cancer diagnosis typically involves a combination of physical examination, medical history, and diagnostic tests to identify the presence and severity of the disease.

A thorough medical history helps identify risk factors, such as family history, age, and ethnicity.

A physical examination, including a digital rectal examination (DRE), is performed to assess the prostate gland.

Diagnostic tests, including prostate-specific antigen (PSA) blood tests and imaging studies, such as ultrasound or MRI, may be ordered to confirm the diagnosis.

Prostate screening is an essential step in detecting prostate cancer in its early stages, when it is more treatable.

Unfortunately, cancer stigma often hinders individuals from seeking medical attention, leading to delayed diagnosis and treatment.

As a urologist, Dr. Wayne Samsoondar emphasizes the importance of open communication and education to dispel cancer stigma, encouraging individuals to prioritize their health and seek medical attention if they experience any symptoms or have concerns.
