Any other methods Better than PSA to monitor prostate cancer?

A DRE is an useful tool in the toolbox in terms of detecting PC. However, I question whether it is the gold standard for detecting Prostate Cancer. I would place much more reliance on the PSA as it reflects what is happening over time and establishes a trend.

You're likely correct, but in my situation, if it hadn't been for the incidental abdominal ultrasound (USG) I underwent, my cancer might have been advancing without my awareness, considering my seemingly normal PSA levels.
