A PSA for PSAs
As a retired urologist having practiced 35 years in Richmond, I am gravely concerned by the new recommendations of the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) against prostate-specific antigen (PSA) testing. These recommendations do a great disservice to men around the country, particularly those with a higher risk of the disease (e.g., African-American men, those with a family history of the disease, those who are underinsured and those who live in rural areas with limited health care access).
