NY Times: P.S.A. prostate screening is inaccurate and a waste of money.

“Last year, The New England Journal of Medicine published results from the two largest studies of the screening procedure, one in Europe and one in the United States. The results from the American study show that over a period of 7 to 10 years, screening did not reduce the death rate in men 55 and over.” [Note: I always keep an eye on prostate issues because we believe my grandfather died of prostate cancer. We can’t be sure, but I believe in ‘safe’ over ‘sorry.’]
