Signs to watch for

Age above 60
Family history of prostate cancer
Inherited gene changes such as BRCA2

No. PSA also rises with benign prostate enlargement and infection. The pattern of PSA over time, MRI findings, and biopsy together establish the diagnosis.
2Is treatment always necessary?
Not always. Low-risk prostate cancer can often be monitored closely with PSA and periodic imaging, starting treatment only if it shows signs of progressing.
3What is a PSMA PET-CT?
A PSMA PET-CT uses a tracer that binds to prostate cancer cells, making it one of the most accurate scans for finding the extent of disease before choosing treatment.
