Study: PSA rise not good prostate cancer predictor

This associated press article appeared last week in the Cincinnati Enquirer and many other media outlets. Prostate examinations have recently included a PSA (Prostate specific antigen) test to help unearth asymptomatic cases of prostate inflammation and/or Cancer. Recent research has shown that the PSA may be weighted too heavily when assessing the need for more invasive care.
Just having a a rising PSA-if nothing else was considered-was associated with a slightly higher risk of having cancer,k although not the more worrisome aggressive kind.


For a healthy prostate, I recommend Palmettoplex and Prostate PMG
