The Journal states that PSA testing should be tailored to risk!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Isnt that exactly what we patients have been saying year after year after and continue to say.
SO why don’t we have a testing programme for those men at risk when even the medical profession agree we should be testing these men.
The Royal Marsden Hospital have shown that when a man has BRCA mutations the PSA blood test was a good predictor of prostate cancer. It just so happens that the BRCA genes are those that are present in breast cancer and hence the link between prostate cancer and breast cancer SO maybe those men who have a family history of breast cancer could be in a higher risk group for prostate cancer.
The article goes on to say that men should be better informed about the uncertainties associated with screening.
Yep absolutely right only problem is that the people who should be informing our men are the people who say men should be better informed SO Why aren’t they informing ALL men????.
Once again the whole article identifies the problem and does nothing about it so it ends up being a talking point only SO it is going to be up to us MEN and our WOMEN to go out and get the information to our fellow-men otherwise another 10,000 men will die in the UK again this year and every year.
