Prostate cancer is one of the most frequently diagnosed cancers in men in Poland. Worse still, it often develops without any symptoms. In this episode, we examine: ✔️ What are the first symptoms of prostate cancer? ✔️ Why is it often detected too late? ✔️ What is a PSA test and why is it so controversial? ✔️ When should you start getting tested? ✔️ What to do if your PSA result is elevated? 📊 Data shows that: → It accounts for as much as 18% of all cancers in men. → Deaths have increased by 30% in recent years. → Many patients only learn about the disease when it metastasizes to the bones. 👉 The problem?
