PSA screening leads to unnecessary treatment... and suffering

Are you a male over 50? Has your GP advised you to have a PSA (prostate specific antigen) test, 'Just as a routine check'? Many of my older male clients report to me that every time their GP orders 'routine blood tests', a PSA test is included - even if the patient specifically asks that it not be. And there are very good reasons why men might decline to be screened for prostate cancer using a PSA test.
