The Prostate Cancer Warning Signs Men Should Know

Prostate cancer is the most common cancer in men, but it often has no obvious symptoms.

In this episode, Dr Karan Rajan speaks with Professor Prabhakar Rajan, a urologist and prostate cancer specialist, about prostate cancer risk, PSA testing, MRI scans, treatment choices, testicular cancer, and why men often delay asking for help.

They discuss when urinary symptoms, blood in urine, persistent back pain, testicular lumps, and changes in sexual or urinary function should be checked. While also unpacking the controversy around PSA screening, overdiagnosis, active surveillance, robotic prostatectomy, focal therapy, radiotherapy, and the future of AI in prostate cancer diagnosis.

This is a practical, evidence-led conversation about men’s health, prostate cancer, testicular cancer, screening, stigma, and the questions men should feel able to ask their doctor.
