5 Prostate Symptoms That Usually Aren’t Cancer (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Night urination. Weak urine stream. Burning. Urinary infections. Blood in the urine. Back or pelvic pain.Many men immediately ask the same frightening question:“Do I have prostate cancer?”The important answer is nuanced: most of these symptoms are not caused by prostate cancer — but that does not mean they should be ignored.In this video, Dr. Chovanec explains five prostate and urinary symptoms that commonly scare men, what they usually mean, when they may suggest something more serious, and whe
PI-RADS Explained: What Your Prostate MRI Result Really Means (opens the original)
Read excerpt
You just received a prostate MRI report — and it says PI-RADS 3, PI-RADS 4, or PI-RADS 5.But what does that actually mean?A PI-RADS score is not a cancer diagnosis.

Dr. Lawrence Einhorn: The Man Who Cured Testicular Cancer (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Some doctors improve cancer treatment. Very few change the fate of an entire disease. Dr. Lawrence Einhorn did.In this special episode, I sit down with Dr. Lawrence Einhorn, one of the true legends of oncology, my mentor and my friend. His cisplatin-based treatment helped transform testicular cancer from a once-devastating diagnosis into one of the greatest cure stories in modern medicine.We talk about why testicular cancer became such a transformative diagnosis, how cisplatin’s anti-cancer effe
