        Performing this feeble test every few months during so-called surveillance makes no scientific sense; can be very uncomfortable; is especially unreliable for detecting the potentially deadly 15% or so of high-grade cancers early and, the examination is often abused by dishonest urologists to push patients towards more profitable evaluations because of 'feeling something'; sensing a 'nodule' or, feeling 'unevenness' (asymmetry, which is normal)."
