   there was prostate cancer in my family (shit for me i guess).

   it can be detected and managed with noninvasive methods SO early now that people easily can live 15-20 years with it before it spreads to the bones.

   NO fucking way someone rich like biden didn't had these tests done all the time and it was missed.

     @bonifartius They typically stop doing prostate cancer tests if someone makes it to 70 years old, as most men would have gotten prostate cancer by then, although in the typical case the tumor is benign, thus it usually causes more harm to try to treat it than to leave it.
     
     In Joe's case I guess his prostate cancer ended up being malignant and it spread to his bones.

     A simple blood test checking PSA is enough.
     Invasive procedures are not necessary.

     @wzqtparor @bonifartius Yes, but a 70+ year old male is extremely likely to have prostate cancer, thus a test confirming what is extremely likely is not useful.
     
     There is no non-invasive procedure that can tell the difference between a benign or malignant tumor.
     
     To treat prostate cancer requires invasive procedures, which is more harmful than leaving a benign tumor alone.
