A PSA of 20
does not in and of itself mean PCa (Prostate Cancer)
is present. Your urologist is wrong to suggest that a high PSA indicates PCa.
With a high PSA the
first action taken should be a 3TmpMRI and
not a biopsy. The MRI is non-invasive and does not cause issues that can follow a biopsy, one of which can be a very bad infection if a TRUS biopsy is performed.
