Urologist Dr. Yaw Nyame joins Dr. Michael Koren to discuss bladder and prostate cancers. Dr. Nyame talks about his journey through college - including the choice between rock stardom and medical school - and how he got to the Fred Hutch Cancer Center in Seattle. Dr. Nyame explains symptoms, the history, and treatments for prostate and bladder cancer. He tells us "if you have blood in the urine, you definitely want to get to your primary care doctor." He also expands on gaps in cancer outcomes for Black men. Along the way, we weigh benefits and harms of PSA screening and talk honestly about sexual health after treatment.

Show Note: Lynch syndrome is a genetic condition also known as hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer (HNPCC). It represents an increased risk of several cancers, including colorectal, endometrial, gastric, ovarian, and pancreatic cancer. It is caused by an error in the DNA mismatch repair mechanism, which normally corrects for random insertions into the DNA code.
