Let's play that tune. Let’s say your PSA test comes back elevated out of the normal range and the digital exam shows your prostate enlarged. You now have the info from the tests you wanted. Tests you can get regardless of the recommendations in the study you referenced. OK. What is it you think you now know? What is your next move?

Not trying to be a butt. My own GP, My Urologist and even my own daughter (Ya, she is also an MD) informed me of the PSA controversy early in the process. The controversy regarding routine PSA screening, and the results, have been around for a long time.

Bottom line; the majority of men on this forum, if they are lucky enough to live long enough, will die with prostate cancer, not of prostate Cancer.

Should men be tested routinely? Hell, I don’t know. I just know it is not the silver bullet like the current crop of movie stars and sports figures pimping the tests on TV would have you believe.
