Working Group of the U.S. Preventive Services (USPTF) on middle-aged people who have not been tested for specific antigen, prostate (PSA) since research has shown that the benefits of testing outweigh the risks, which include. results. false-positive.
More than three-quarters of the people surveyed said they had no knowledge of the new Linda Squiers, Ph.D., Senior Scientist in Health Communication at RTI International in Rockville, MD, and lead author said. Most people understand that the reason behind the new, when it was explained that I said.
Blacks with higher incomes and those who had a PSA test in the previous two years were more likely to say they will not follow the instructions according to a new study. People who are very or somewhat concerned about prostate cancer were also more likely to want to test the 1,089 people who participated had a history of prostate cancer does.
That only a few people to say that they did not follow the instructions that surprising. Routine testing for many types of cancer has been promoted for a long time, Squiers also noted. "Our culture is very professional inspection. The idea that screening is useful and necessary to be drilled into all of us. "
David F. Penson, MD, Chief of Urology, American Health Association (AUA) and a professor at Vanderbilt University Medical Center in Nashville, the "men in the study may indicate that while generally can agree on. USPSTF recommendations for large populations, when they feel that their personal circumstances and personal preferences, and will be tested and know their status. ".
Seventy percent of the people surveyed said they either did not mention the potential benefits and harms of screening with their health care provider, or may not remember that discussion. Squiers said that those who have heard discussions that only a couple of tests. "We need to do a good job in presenting the benefits and harms of screening all patients and explain the science behind the advice in simple language so that everyone can understand," he said.
AUA has just released new clinical guidelines on screening for prostate cancer AUA says that you can not recommend for or against routine PSA testing for men aged 40-54 at average risk of prostate cancer. But the debate about medical testing. Patients for men aged 55-69.
AUA recommends that men age 40 and older who are at increased risk of prostate cancer, including black people and people with a strong family history, you should discuss with your estimates and then make a decision concerning an individual. I know about it. "AUA is to make joint efforts to build public awareness of the new" Penson said.
