Challenges of Digital Rectal Exams in Prostate Cancer Detection
Exploring the limitations of digital rectal exams (DRE) in screening for prostate cancer, the chapter emphasizes the importance of research and guidance for early detection in primary care. Discussions cover the risks of missed cancers due to DRE's inability to assess the entire gland and the lack of added value in decision-making for cases with elevated PSA levels. Factors influencing prostate cancer risk, including age, ethnicity, and family history, are explored, along with insights on the barriers to seeking healthcare for prostate cancer, especially among black men.
