Like anything regarding a persons health I believe that it is important today to learn as much as possible from both sides before making irreversible decisions about surgery.

I agree completely. And, when the man who actually discovered PSA starts recommending against the PSA test, people should hear about it. Thanks for bringing this to our attention.

When we hear both arguments, we're empowered to make the decision that's right for us. I'm not a man, but the same goes for the tests given to us women. These days, I tend toward the more conventional tests/treatments myself, but that might not be the right course for everyone.

The author writes that he had intended to create a test similar to the Pap Smear which does its job of cancer detection, but his PSA test was highjacked early on and used by those wanting to get a test to the market in order to make high profits quickly.
