Science Daily – Mar. 10, 2014 – Men are less likely to die
of prostate cancer in areas where the PSA test is frequently used compared to
areas where it is seldom used, according to a study published online today in
the Journal of the National Cancer Institute.
Based on two large cancer registries in Sweden, the study mirrors the results
of similar study done in a large randomized European study that showed PSA
testing reduced the risk of dying from prostate cancer, however it runs counter
to the 2012
recommendation of the US Preventive Services Task Force.
