MYRTLE BEACH, SC (WMBF) PSA tests play a major role in prostate cancer screening. However,
a recent study recommends that men no longer receive the PSA blood test saying
it doesn't save men's lives.
Consider This:
The American
Urological Association recommends that men get a PSA test once they reach the
age of 40 and most urologists disagree with the recent findings. Zero, a group
working to end prostate cancer, has launched a campaign to help save the PSA
test. You might be familiar with Zero since it brings its mobile testing
centers to our area each year to make it easy for men to receive prostate
screening.
There's not
doubt that PSA tests have helped to save lives, but with anything, it is also important
that the information is managed appropriately. Finding a new, more accurate
prostate cancer test is a priority. Until that new test is developed the PSA
test is the best option and we encourage the US Preventive Services Task Force to
reverse its decision.
