Blood in the urine (known as hematuria) is a common occurrence that elicits prostate cancer fears in many men and usually results in an uncomfortable cystoscopy to check for the presence of bladder cancer. In this video, PCRI's CEO, Alex Scholz, asks Executive Director, Mark Scholz, MD, about hematuria, whether it is a symptom of prostate cancer, and Dr. Scholz offers information about a urine test that could circumvent the need for an invasive cystoscopy. 0:15 Is the presence of blood in the urine a symptom of prostate cancer?
