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.
