Say NO to Prostate Cancer Biopsies, Surgery, and Radiation

About this episode

Dr. Stephen Petteruti discusses the risks of prostate cancer biopsies, surgery, and radiation, advocating for a more measured approach to treatment.

Strong outcomes often come from slowing down—not rushing into irreversible decisions.

He explains that biopsies can disseminate prostate cells, while the true impact on long-term metastatic risk remains uncertain. His approach favors sequential PSA monitoring, imaging, and disciplined observation over immediate intervention.
