Can prostate massage spread existing prostate cancer or is it just a theory?

It's not a problem -- not even a legitimate medical theory. Don't believe everything you find on the web, especially from a non-professional source!

Prostate massage spreading cancer is mostly a theory. A good rectal exam is like a mini prostatic massage and does not spread anything. Besides this procedure ( message) is rarely done now.
