Prostate screening under scrutinyProstate screening under scrutinyRoutine screening for prostate cancer #xhas come under furtherartificial fruitscrutiny after two studies concluded it may do more harm than good.European researchers found the current prostate specific antigen (PSA) test cannot reliably rule out a future diagnosis of prostate cancer.Another article, also in the British Medical Journal, found the long-term benefits of screening were unclear.Although there is no formal screening in the UK, PSA testing is on the rise.It is not offered as standard but men can ask their GP for the test.In March, ministers asked the UK National Screening Committee to review the existingartificial fruitadvice on screening after a large European study reported it could cut deaths by 20%.A final decision will not be made until next summer.In the latest Swedish study, the researchers looked at the results of PSA tests in 540 men done several years before they were diagnosed with prostate cancer and compared them with results from 1,Carbon fiber body kit,000 healthy men.They could not reliably find a cut-off point at which a PSA test predicted future prostate cancer.Only very low PSA concentrations - less than 1ng/ml - virtually ruled out a later diagnosis, they found.NHS recommendations advise referral at 3ng/ml in men aged 50-59 and up to 5ng/ml in older men.Better ways of detecting prostate cancer #xare needed beforeartificial fruitscreening can be recommended, they concluded.相关的主题文章：
