U.S. panel wrong to discount prostate cancer test
SUMMARY - When I hear or see bad medical advice being given, I simply cannot remain silent. Such is the case with the recent U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) recommendation that healthy men no longer need to receive PSA (prostate-specific antigen) blood tests as part of routine cancer screening.
CONCLUSION - Medical decisions should be made by a patient and his physicians. I honestly thought we had moved past the point where we would permit the government to deny patients’ ability and right to choose their own health care destiny.
