DRE examination for prostate cancer
Question
Can you tell me if it is possible that a prostate cancer has metastasized to distant parts (e.g. bones or lymph) if it cannot be felt with DRE examination?
Answer
It is possible that a prostate cancer can have metastasised and the yet the DRE examination be normal, unusual though it may be.
