Biden diagnosed with 'aggressive form' of prostate cancer

18. Here is hoping for an effective treatment. There is a lot they can do today even with metastatic PCa.

I am actually surprised they caught it after it progressed.

I assume it is because of the asinine recommendation not to do PSA monitoring, especially after a certain age.

The US Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) and other organizations no longer recommend routine prostate-specific antigen (PSA) testing for all men. Those involved in that committee's recommendation were not even required to be experts in Prostate Cancer or urology.

Because of that stupid recommendation more people are now being diagnosed with advanced prostate cancer than previously when they recommended PSAs for men over 50, and younger if it runs in the family.

and the stupid recommendation that men over 70 should forgo PSA testing is responsible for a lot of late stage Prostate Cancer increased rate.
