If you have no symptoms, you don’t have prostate cancer: Prostate cancer can develop without noticeable symptoms, especially in its early stages. Many prostate cancers grow slowly and may not require immediate treatment. Some men live with slow-growing prostate cancer for years without experiencing symptoms. Regular screenings and awareness of risk factors are important, as symptoms often appear only when the cancer is more advanced.

PSA tests don’t work at all: While PSA tests are not always perfectly accurate and can sometimes produce false positives or negatives, they are still useful for detecting prostate health issues, including prostate cancer and other conditions like benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).

A high PSA means you have prostate cancer: Elevated PSA levels do not automatically mean prostate cancer. PSA levels can be raised by other conditions like benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) or Prostatitis, which are not cancerous. Likewise, A normal PSA level doesn’t guarantee the absence of prostate cancer. Prostate cancer can still develop even with normal PSA levels.

Prostate cancer can be cured with surgery alone: While surgery is a common treatment, prostate cancer may require additional treatments such as radiation therapy, hormone therapy, or chemotherapy. The treatment approach depends on the cancer's stage and aggressiveness.
