A member asked:
95 yr old grandfather has enlarged prostate and psa 30 (since 7 months) - does this definitely mean cancer (and mets) or could it be something else?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Almost certainly: It is said that men have an almost 100% chance of having prostate cancer. Risk of prostate cancer increases with age, although grade tends 2B less with increased age. Bone pain can indicate that prostate cancer has spread to bone, i.e has metastasized.
