In this episode, Dr. Brandon & Dr. Morgentaler talk about what high PSA levels really mean, their relationship to prostate cancer, and why an elevated PSA doesn't necessarily rule out testosterone therapy after proper evaluation.
00:00 PSA Basics Explained — PSA is a normal prostate-produced protein, and an elevated level can signal increased prostate cancer risk without meaning cancer is definitely present.
06:45 What High PSA Really Means — PSA is a probability marker: higher levels raise concern, but prostate cancer can occur at low PSA levels and elevated PSA can occur without cancer.
11:51 MRI vs Biopsy Debate — They discuss how prostate MRI can help determine whether a biopsy is necessary, while noting that a negative MRI can still miss some cancers.
15:57 Prostate Biopsy Evolution — Dr. Morgentaler explains how prostate biopsies progressed from manually guided procedures to more precise ultrasound-guided techniques.
18:25 Pain Control and Safer Biopsies — Improved anesthesia and newer transperineal biopsies can reduce discomfort and lower infection risk compared with traditional transrectal approaches.
22:02 Testosterone with High PSA — An elevated PSA should be properly investigated, but if evaluation shows no evidence of prostate cancer, they argue it should not automatically prevent testosterone therapy.
