Interesting thread, particularly as I am just in the process of changing doctors. The new guy went to some length to explain to me that he did not believe in manual prostate examination and/or PSA testing as they were not accurate or useful predictors of prostate cancer (too many false positives).
Now, he is bright and shiny, just out of school and he apparently has been part of the broader discussion here in Canada about this subject.
I am a little concerned as, far as I can tell, the tests are a minor inconvenience and I am not sure how one would detect prostate cancer in its early stages without some kind of testing of one form or another.
Love to hear the physicians chime on this one.....
