This is not an issue of personal testimony, but of scientific evidence. Read the literature.
Believe me I've read all the literature on this subject. And it's not about personal testimony. Get the test, get the results, get a second opinion and take more tests and make your consideration about treatment if you have cancer. It's important to understand that cancer is as individual to each person as is the treatment. But by telling people not to test and be proactive is ludicrous. Finding the right care and procedures once you have cancer can save your life. Not testing and making the necessary decisions can cost you your life.

bi_mmmf...and others....when faced with the problem one has to decide to trust your local doctors...sure information is power...yes PSA is not perfect, but really medicine is a practice...to ignore a simple 50 dollar test and RISK your life...non-sense...i am very confident that those who have been diagnosed with CANCER and survived are very thankful....until something better is the standard in health care, myself i would rather endure a biopsy and know my options than to not and suffer a miserable death...bottom line...been there done that, happy i now know the facts.
bi mmf, you appear to have a few horses in this race. What's up with that? The fact that the PSA test is controversial probably means that the risks/benefits are unclear and that having the test or foregoing it can both be justified. Yet you seem to be on a mission about this.

Of course statistics may show the test doesn't hep. MOST men don't have a test till a symptom shows up and even then some wait to go to the doctor.
The research is directed specifically at PSA testing as applied to men without symptoms. You seem confused about the nature of research on screening.
