RE: How helpful is prostate specific antigen (PSA) screening for prostate cancer ?
Very well written, the verdict is still out. One thing that you didn't mention which makes it somewhat difficult to interpret some of the studies it's something called leadtime bias. With this basically means is that your diagnosing the cancer earlier. So even though study may have collected data for 13 years it might not be long enough to show a treatment effect.
