The decision is individual \u2014 it is worth discussing your personal risk and the benefits and limitations of PSA testing with a urologist.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-color\" style=\"color:#1a2e5a\">Q2: Does a high PSA mean I have prostate cancer?<\/h3>\n<p>Not necessarily. PSA can rise for benign reasons such as <a href=\"https:\/\/drsoaraweeurology.com\/services\/bph-enlarged-prostate-bangkok\/\">an enlarged prostate (BPH)<\/a>, infection, or recent activity. A raised PSA is a signal to investigate further \u2014 often with an MRI \u2014 not an automatic diagnosis of cancer.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-color\" style=\"color:#1a2e5a\">Q3: What is an MRI-fusion prostate biopsy?<\/h3>\n<p>It is a targeted biopsy that merges a prior MRI with live ultrasound so the urologist can sample suspicious areas precisely. Performed through the perineum (transperineal), it improves accuracy and carries a very low risk of infection compared with older methods.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-color\" style=\"color:#1a2e5a\">Q4: Does prostate cancer always need immediate treatment?<\/h3>\n<p>No. Many low-risk prostate cancers grow very slowly and can be safely monitored with active surveillance, avoiding or delaying treatment and its side effects. Treatment is recommended when the cancer&#8217;s risk level warrants it.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-color\" style=\"color:#1a2e5a\">Q5: Can prostate cancer be cured?<\/h3>\n<p>When detected early and confined to the prostate, prostate cancer is highly treatable and often curable with surgery or radiation. This is precisely why timely screening and accurate diagnosis are so important.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script type=\"application\/ld+json\">\n{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@type\":\"FAQPage\",\"mainEntity\":[{\"@type\":\"Question\",\"name\":\"Who should get prostate cancer screening?\",\"acceptedAnswer\":{\"@type\":\"Answer\",\"text\":\"Screening is generally considered for men from age 50, or from 45 for those with a family history or other risk factors.
