Routine PSA Tests For Prostate Cancer On Men Of Any Age Should End, Group Says : Shots

NPR  

All Routine PSA Tests For Prostate Cancer Should End, Task Force Says toggle caption Jose Luis Magana/AP There they go again — those 17 federally appointed experts at the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force are telling American doctors and patients to stop routinely doing lifesaving tests. Or at least that's the way some people look at the task force's latest guidelines on prostate cancer screening, which say doctors should stop doing routine PSA tests on men of any age. "If all PSA screening were to stop, there would be thousands of men who would unnecessarily suffer and die from prostate cancer." "A goodly proportion of men who have localized prostate cancer actually have a disease that will never kill them if left alone," says Dr. Otis Brawley, the American Cancer Society's chief medical officer.
