Prostate Cancer: Beyond the PSA

A conversation about one of the most common, and most misunderstood, cancers in men. Dr. Eve Glazier and Scott Eggener, MD, chair of urology at UCLA Health, unpack how prostate cancer is detected, what a PSA can and can't tell you, and why a diagnosis is often more nuanced than people expect. They explore the tradeoffs of screening, the difference between lower-risk and more aggressive disease, and how fear can sometimes race ahead of understanding. This episode is about making sense of the numbers, the language and the decisions that follow.
