However, the widespread application of PSA testing is controversial, due to uncertainties over whether earlier diagnosis of prostate cancer improves the mortality associated with the disease. This article discusses the evidence on the relationship between PSA testing and prostate cancer mortality considering...
the PSA test can help detect small tumors. Having a small tumor found and treated may not, however, reduce the chance of dying from prostate cancer. That is because many tumors found through PSA testing grow so slowl...
How PSA Testing Reduces Incidence of Metastatic Prostate Cancer Dr Welch and colleagues indicate that "the rapid uptake of PSA screening lead to a dramatic spike in overall prostate cancer diagnoses during the early 1990s — one that's unrivaled in US cancer data."...

Historical prostate-specific antigen (PSA)-based screening studies reduced prostate cancer-related deaths but also led to overdiagnosis/overtreatment. Since then, opportunistic PSA testing has increased, and late-stage diagnoses and prostate-cancer relat

Mortality in prostate cancer is lower in areas with frequent use of PSA testing compared with areas with little testing shows a study published online today in Journal of the National Cancer Institute by researchers from Umeå University, Sweden and Me
aThe data on PSA testing to detect prostate cancer has long been shaky — so much so that the discoverer of PSA (or prostate-specific antigen, an enzyme made by the prostate) himself decried the test two years ago as “hardly more effective than a coin toss.” 关于PSA的数据测试查出摄护...

Indirect consequences of PSA testing for prostate cancer screening Prostate cancer screening remains controversial as the reduction in mortality is outweighed by overdiagnosis and overtreatment. Prostate specific antigen (PSA) testing remains a recurring issue for primary care physicians. Although the l......
