I heard on the radio yesterday that the doctor who created the prostate test is livid, since the test was never meant to diagnose potential cases — it was focused on existing cases.

Kind of like how the inventor of the COVID test felt that it should not be used for screening purposes.

Here’s what ChatGTP says:

Yes, Dr. Richard J. Ablin, who discovered the prostate-specific antigen (PSA) in 1970, has expressed concerns about the widespread use of the PSA test for prostate cancer screening. He believes that the test is not a reliable indicator of prostate cancer and can lead to overdiagnosis and overtreatment. Dr. Ablin has argued that the PSA test should not be used as a routine screening tool for prostate cancer.

With regard to specific recommendations in the elderly population, general consensus exists against routine screening in men with a life expectancy of less than 10 to 15 years because the expected mortality benefit from screening is estimated to occur years after the initial screening
