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.

You are correct as well. That is why my annual physical examination by my family doctor always included the PSA and a DRE but it was the rising PSA that triggered the referral to the Urologist and although his DRE didn't detect anything abnormal, the subsequent biopsy did generate a Gleason 6.
