Give me a museum and I'll fill it. (Picasso) Give me a forum ...
I was going to mention the current guidelines that recommend against PSA testing but Rich's post covers the ground much better than I could. My doctor routinely includes PSA in the labs and says we would switch to watchful waiting if I got an elevated score. I can't decide whether there is much value in that or if that is just courting anxiety if a test comes back high. Maybe watchful waiting (for symptoms with no PSA numbers) is the better overall approach. Better yet would be an accurate screen. Maybe someday.
