Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center has just published this article on PSA testing for men at the age of 60. A simple blood test performed at age 60 can determine a man's risk of dying from prostate cancer within the next 25 years, according to a new study led by Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center investigators. The study's findings suggest that regular prostate-specific antigen (PSA) screening for prostate cancer should be focused on men who receive high readings from a PSA test performed at age 60 and that men with low readings can be spared further screening.
Here's Your Healthy Tip of the Day: I suggest ALL of you read this (both male and female) and pass this link on to every male that you know.
