As a survivor of this type of cancer and the subsequent surgery, my opinion is that this is tied in directly to the new socialized healthcare system. Thousands of men will die simply from not following up on an elevated PSA count. This seems to be what the government wants. Some cancers are more virulent than others and are fast moving, others move more slowly. Diagnosis and treatment of encapsulated prostate cancer is the key to long term survival and getting cured. It is a silent, progressive, killer. The oldtimers in my area used to refer to it as the widow maker, because, those men who never got themselves examined, didn’t find out they had the disease until it was too late, and payed the ultimate price. This information is crazy.
You do have to determine if the Prostate Cancer is the highly aggressive or the slower but still should be watched closely type. Within a few months most Urologist can tell and treat accordingly. Obviously if it has left the Prostate they would treat immediately. The sooner the treatment the higher the survival rate or in more severe cases the person can add up too a decade or more too their life even with the cancer. I would consider theses type of new reports to be irresponsible and highly biased by insurer funding or political pressures.
