In most cases the aggressive type it too late to treat when

What symptoms, until it spreads or causes major blockages or bleeding?
Then, you're practically dead. I don't think there's any way for the
patient to report symptoms early enough to make a difference.

well not having the aggressive form, or even cancer at all I have no
idea how early the symptoms appear in that case

but I had the symptoms of prostate enlargement for at least 3 years
before it was discovered

Benign prostate enlargement gradually builds up, until it becomes a
nuisance. But you can't compare that to cancer.



and that was at as the result of a routine test not because I reported
any applicable symptoms

What routine test?
