How is rectal examination done when testing for prostate cancer?

Rectal examination for prostate cancer is done by inserting a gloved finger into the back passage so that your doctor can actually feel the prostate gland, to find out whether it is larger than it should be. Even if it is enlarged, this does not mean that it is cancerous.
