Should every man over 50 be getting a PSA test… and why has prostate cancer screening become so controversial?
In this episode of Talking With Docs, Dr. Brad Weening and Dr. Paul Zalzal are joined by Dr. Peter Incze, Urologist, to break down one of the most important conversations in men’s health: PSA testing, prostate cancer screening, and why early detection matters more than many people realize.
They explain what PSA stands for, why this blood test became controversial years ago, what has changed since then, and why more men are now showing up with advanced prostate cancer after screening rates declined.
Dr. Peter Incze also explains how prostate cancer screening has evolved, why an elevated PSA doesn’t automatically mean cancer, and how modern testing helps doctors decide when to monitor, investigate further, or treat.
You’ll learn:
• What PSA stands for
• What a PSA blood test actually checks for
• Why prostate cancer screening became controversial
• What changed since earlier screening guidelines
• Why men over 50 should ask about PSA testing
• Who may need screening earlier
• What an elevated PSA really means
• Why PSA is best followed over time
• When additional testing may be needed
• Why not every elevated PSA leads to biopsy
• How prostate cancer treatment has changed
• Why some prostate cancers can be safely monitored
• The difference between low-risk and aggressive prostate cancer
• Why early detection can make a major difference
• What men should ask their family doctor about screening
• Why screening decisions should be personalized
The doctors also discuss why PSA testing today is far more nuanced than it used to be, how newer approaches help reduce unnecessary treatment, and why having the conversation early may help detect prostate cancer before it becomes advanced.
