This forum is for the discussion of anything to do with Prostate Cancer. There are only four rules:
No fundraisers, no commercials (although it is OK to recommend choices of treatment or medical people based on your personal research; invitations to participate in third-party surveys are also acceptable, provided there is no compensation to YANA);
No harvesting e-mail addresses for Spam;
No insults or flaming - be polite and respectful at all times and understand that there may be a variety of points of view, all of which may have some validity;
Opinions are OK, but please provide as much factual evidence as possible for any assertions that you are making
Failure to abide by these simple rules will result in the immediate and permanent suspension of your posting privileges.
Since this is an International Forum, please specify your location in your post.
With the start of Prostate Cancer Awareness Month – in the US and here in Australia, some very interesting articles are being published. Some of those on THE NEW PROSTATE CANCER INFOLINK are shown below. Two that are well worth reading are the one that shows the value of PSA testing and the one on overtreatment:
-- Partnership status and quality of life
-- Gen-Probe starts clinical trial of PCA3 test in USA
-- How many men are being over-treated?
-- Study shows massive drop in risk for diagnosis with more advanced forms of prostate cancer
-- Has the pendulum really started to swing?
-- President Obama declares September 2009 prostate cancer awareness month
All the best
