Abstract

Prostate cancer, as a common malignant tumor in males, requires preventive measures and early screening to reduce the incidence rate and improve treatment outcomes. For high-risk groups such as men with a family history, specifc racial backgrounds, or advanced age, it is recommended to start prostate cancer screening at the age of 45 or 10 years earlier than the earliest onset age in the family. Screening methods include PSA testing, digital rectal examination (DRE), and more precise imaging tests. For the general population, prostate cancer screening is typically initiated at the age of 50, with a screening frequency of once a year, primarily using PSAtesting and DRE. Additionally, maintaining a healthy lifestyle, such as balanced diet, moderate exercise, and avoiding smoking and alcohol, can also help reduce the risk of prostate cancer. Regular screening and a healthy lifestyle can effectively prevent the occurrence of prostate cancer and enable early treatment of detected lesions, thereby improving patient survival rates and quality of life.
