Study Finds PSA Test Saves Few Lives - NYTimes.com

Study Finds PSA Test Saves Few Lives - NYTimes.com

As awful a killer as cancer is, a reliable test for prostate cancer does not exist. Until one is available, I choose not to be PSA tested unless my physician can factually persuade me otherwise.

Will someone please tally the health care costs that would be saved if this test were not routinely performed?
