Prostate cancer scare in 2020 turned out to be ‘false alarm’ for singer Shaan

Prostate cancer scare five years ago compelled noted playback singer Shaan to go for a check-up, which then confirmed that it was just a “false alarm”.

Sharing his experience at the launch of MenCan, an initiative of Urologic Oncology Disease Management Group (URO DMG), a unit of the Tata Memorial Centre (TMC) here, he also urged people to get medical tests done, saying health was of utmost importance.

“I had a bit of a prostate scare in 2020, which I want to share with you. It almost led to a point where I was told by a few doctors that this could be prostate cancer, but it turned out it was a false alarm,” he told reporters.
