User:P. Oncology/Prostate cancer screening

Article body
Revising This:

Prostate biopsies are considered the gold standard in detecting prostate cancer. Infection is a possible risk. MRI guided techniques have improved the diagnostic accuracy of the procedure. Biopsies can be done through the rectum or penis.

Revisions:

The biopsy technique includes factors such as needle angle and prostate mapping method. Patients with localized cancer and perineurial invasion may benefit more from immediate treatment rather than adopting a watchful waiting approach.

Psychological Impact of Screening
Men report low levels of distress surrounding PSA screening. Men who present for PSA or have PSA levels at baseline scored low on cancer distress on numerous scales.
