The DRE digital rectal exam or finger test can miss the mark. I am a year out from an open radical prostetectomy. My cancer was very forward on the prostate and on the upper side. It never showed up with the DRE and got by the first biopsy 18 months earlier. My PSA was not that bad by the old standards but was slowly increasing. A newer test called the PCA3 checks for rna tracers in the urine and is very accurate at telling if cancer is there. While waiting for the surgery every doctor I saw insisted on doing the DRE. It got to a point that I would bend over and put my elbows on the table if a waiter in a white jacket walked by. I had an aggressive form of the cancer, but they caught it before it got outside of the prostate. Did not have to do Chemo or Radiation. I had the open surgery so that they could dig out all of the lymph nodes. They can't dig them out so well with the robotic methods and the cancer can come back in the lymph nodes after the prostrate is out. The key is to catch it as early as possible and have a good urologist keeping track of your system. Good luck with your test!

The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
