psa debate
psa debateCurrently the psa test is being debated on a daily basis in papers throughout the country. The psa market is $3 billion (wow), I have read powerful articles on both sides of the debate, but one thing is clear, a human life is worth saving. One article stated that they need to complete around 1100 screens and 48 treatments to save one life. Someone wrote in and said that their father passed away from prostate cancer when he was 50 years old without ever being screened for the disease. It will come down to individual physicians and how they will use the psa test.
From all this it is clear that the PCA3 test is a solution to this debate, its a fit, and is a long over due answer to the physicians question. How do we proceed?
It has been a long time coming but PCA3 is going to hit this $3,000,000,000 market at the right time and help alot of people.
