Ask the men who have died from it how much they might have like to have had regular screenings...it kills as many as breast cancer does....

The latest stats show a 40% lower death rate from prostate cancer for those men who have been PSA screened. The producers of this “report” are the same who last year told MDs not to offer mammograms to women under 50. Do you think their goal might be based on the British model?

Yes, like my best friend's husband(never had a prostate exam) who began suffering intestinal symptoms and shortness of breath, only to find he had prostate cancer which had metastasized to the intestines. Granted, that's not the typical scenario, and I suspect he had at least some vague symptoms before that onslaught. Over four years later he is in remission, but as a physician he has had access to the best specialists and treatments.
