Former President Joe Biden's recent diagnosis of aggressive, metastasized prostate cancer has raised questions about why it wasn't detected earlier. Experts explain that prostate cancer often presents subtly, even in older men, and PSA screening isn't always conclusive or recommended for all older men due to potential for false positives. Some men choose not to pursue further testing after borderline results. Advanced prostate cancer may be asymptomatic, making early detection challenging even with regular screening.
