327: [CME] Prostate Cancer Screening & Biden’s Diagnosis: What You Need to Know

Prostate cancer screening isn’t just clinical—it’s personal. Especially when headlines make it political.

In this episode Tracy breaks down the buzz around President Joe Biden’s recent prostate cancer diagnosis—and uses the moment to teach, clarify, and contextualize what it really means to screen for prostate cancer in 2025.

As a former Urology PA, Tracy brings her clinical experience and clear communication to an often-misunderstood topic. She walks through:

• What the prostate does and how PSA testing works

• What elevates PSA levels (that isn’t cancer)

• Why BPH complicates the picture

• What Gleason scores tell us about cancer aggressiveness

• Current USPSTF and AUA guidelines for prostate cancer screening

• How shared decision-making, not headlines, should guide patient care

This episode is a reminder to return to nuance and individualize care—especially when the world is watching.

🔍 Whether you're brushing up on guidelines, supporting aging male patients, or just curious about the clinical story behind the headlines—this one’s for you.
