SHOW NOTES FROM MAY 26/12 - PSA

 

According to the United States Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) using the PSA blood test as a screen for prostate cancer causes more harm than good. 

DR. JOE'S TAKE AWAY: 

Forget the PSA blood test as a prostate cancer screen. It's worse than useless.  I'm not getting it for myself and I'm not advising it for my patients.
