How to detect prostate cancer early?

  Because of the lack of specific symptoms of prostate cancer, it is difficult to detect early, and most of the prostate cancers diagnosed in China are already in the middle and late stages, losing the chance of radical surgery. However, most prostate cancer patients have elevated prostate specific antigen (PSA), and most prostate cancer occurs in older men, so regular PSA tests for middle-aged and older men over 40 years old can help detect prostate cancer at an early stage. Any PSA abnormalities should not be taken lightly and should be further examined. For elderly men with suspicious symptoms, they should visit a urologist as soon as possible for PSA and anal examination, which can also help detect prostate cancer at an early stage. For any patient suspected of prostate cancer, timely and systematic prostate puncture biopsy is an important step in early diagnosis of prostate cancer, and in some cases, the diagnosis can be confirmed after multiple puncture biopsies.
