Guest guest Posted February 25, 2011 Report Share Posted February 25, 2011 The Sloan Kettering Press release is here http://www.mskcc.org/mskcc/html/102443.cfm and although this merely confirms what an earlier European study demonstrated namely that the researchers could find no evidence to support the recommendation that men with a high PSA velocity should be biopsied in the absence of other indications. In other words, if a man's PSA has risen rapidly in recent years, there is no cause for concern if his total PSA level is still low and his clinical exam is normal. No doubt this will create more of a flurry among those who support screening in principle and those who deny the concept of overtreatment, but it may save many men from unnecessary biopsy procedures and treatment for unaggressive disease labeled prostate cancer.
