Prostate Cancer Screening and Modern Treatment: What Every Man Should Know

Prostate cancer is one of the most common cancers affecting men — yet when detected early, it is also one of the most treatable.

At The Y Factor, we are committed to the full spectrum of men’s health and wellness, including prostate cancer screening, diagnosis, and treatment. Our goal is not just cancer control, but preserving what matters most to men: quality of life, sexual function, and long-term health.

Who Should Be Screened for Prostate Cancer?

Men who are:

• Over age 40–45
• Receiving testosterone replacement therapy (TRT)
• Or have a family history of prostate cancer

should undergo routine prostate cancer screening with a urologist.

Men on TRT deserve special attention. Testosterone therapy can be safely prescribed when properly monitored, but it must always be paired with appropriate prostate surveillance.

PSA Alone Is No Longer Enough

For decades, PSA testing has been the foundation of prostate cancer screening. While PSA remains useful, it does not tell the whole story.

At The Y Factor, we utilize state-of-the-art prostate cancer testing beyond PSA alone, allowing for:

• Improved risk stratification
• Earlier detection of aggressive disease
• Fewer unnecessary biopsies
• More informed treatment decisions

This modern approach reflects advances in urology and evidence-based men’s health care.

New FDA-Approved Advances in Prostate Cancer Treatment

Prostate cancer treatment has evolved dramatically in recent years.

New FDA-approved therapies and technologies now allow for:

• Highly effective cancer treatment
• Preservation of sexual function
• Improved bladder and urinary control
• Faster recovery and fewer long-term side effects

For many men, prostate cancer is no longer a life-altering diagnosis — it is a highly manageable condition when treated early by experienced specialists.

Why Men Should See a Urologist for Prostate Screening

Prostate cancer screening and treatment should always be managed by a urologist with expertise in men’s health.

At The Y Factor, prostate care is integrated into a broader wellness framework that includes:

• Hormonal health
• Sexual function
• Aging and longevity
• Preventive care

Men get screened for prostate cancer by a urologist — and how you are screened matters.
