The people that get under my skin are the ones that say " well, no one dies of prostate cancer , so it no big deal " . Really ? this is their knowledge base ? More men each year die of PC each year than 'people' dies of Breast Cancer in NA ... but always gets less than 5% of the funding for research ! James on Vancouver Island.

That's the same misguided group-think that had the CDC in the U.S. and health authorities around the world recommend stopping routine PSA screening from age 50. They ignored the early, aggressive types of prostate cancer where early screening could save lives, and talked only about avoiding unnecessary interventions for early-stage PCa in very elderly patients. 😔
