The PSA screening test for prostate cancer is flawed

“They found the standard prostate-specific antigen, or PSA test, produces many false positives and false negatives -— meaning some men who think they do not have cancer actually do, while others may undergo uncomfortable biopsies only to learn there is no tumor after all.”

The evidence says this is a suboptimal test. Am I still going to do it? You betcha.
