"It would be very unusual for a man your age to have cancer of the prostate."

“We will treat you with chemotherapy so we can control the cancer."

"The swelling in your prostate is only temporary and will go away."

"The enlargement of your prostate is caused by hormonal changes, and not cancer."

Answer and Explanation

The Correct Answer is D

A.   While prostate cancer risk increases with age, it's not rare for a 60-year-old man to have prostate cancer. This response might provide false reassurance.
B.   Chemotherapy is not typically the primary treatment for benign prostatic hypertrophy (BPH) and doesn’t relate to the concerns raised by the client.
C.   BPH is a chronic condition characterized by non-cancerous prostate enlargement, not temporary swelling that goes away.
D.   BPH is commonly caused by hormonal changes and does not predispose a person to prostate cancer. It's important to differentiate between BPH and prostate cancer.
