[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]Speaking as someone whose family has a history of prostate cancer, and of cases where prostate cancer was correctly diagnosed at early stages so that treatment could be undertaken at a point when lives were saved, I have to say - with no personal animus toward anyone here - that I find this discussion extraordinarily offensive. The fact that un- or under-qualified clinicians misinterpret results and recommend unnecessary treatment does not change the fact that this screening can and does save lives if done professionally and responsibly. Rant off.
