New York Times has an article about this today. The problem seems to be that men won’t go to the doctor unless they’re so sick their wives/girlfriends badger them to go. Doctors these days are limited to about 15 minutes per person for discussions and a lot of times they can’t get to the PSA discussion in time.

Many doctors also don’t require PSA testing. They recommended it but leave it up to men to do it. My wife’s first husband (married 1st time 5 years like me) was a gynecologist who didn’t get tested for many years and died of prostate cancer within a couple of years when he found he had an aggressive case.

I wonder how many men in this forum have aggressive prostate cancer patients only because they wouldn’t see a doctor. I know in my case I go every year and I was getting a PSA test every year since my father died of it.
