I know he has in the works a planned study of cyclists who have BHP or have a normal prostate to try to understand effects or not of both long-term riding or consistent long-distance riding.
So I am staying with him.
His Name is Paul Seiber from Lancaster, PA
As with many things in life -- “You say potato, I say pot-ah-to.” My PCa - Prostate Cancer Doctor has 40+ years dealing with cancers and 30+ years specializing in PCa treatment and development of medical equipment/techniques/immunotherapy for treating PCa. His take is that riding a bike can indeed affect the health of one's Prostate.
