At first glance, deciding whether to get the PSA screening
test for prostate cancer seems to be pretty straightforward and attractive. It’s a simple
blood test that can pick up the prostate cancer long before your symptoms appear. After
all, your prostate cancer is earlier treated resulting in cure and better outcome. Therefore
prostate cancer screening seems to be suitable for public commercials. However, many
of the cancers that will be detected by screening are so slow-growing that might never
cause problems during mens life. Moreover, their diagnosis by biopsy, and treatment,
might be worse than the disease itself. Therefore, prostate cancer screening looks favourable;
however, watch out for the prostate cancer bomb.http://repub.eur.nl/res/pub/32519/120516_Leeuwen%2C%20Pim%20Johannes%20van.pdf
