More research regarding prostate cancer in older men.
Older men diagnosed with prostate cancer who choose watchful waiting are doing better these days than in the era before screening with a test for prostate-specific antigen (PSA) became common, a new study finds. “The most important message is that the long-term outcome for patients who don’t have surgery or radiation is pretty good,” said study author Dr. Grace L. Lu-Yao, an associate professor of medicine at the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey. Her report appears in the Sept. 16 issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association. – From US News & World Report
