For years I have tried to reach journalists who unquestioningly promote prostate cancer screening in all men 50 or older - some have promoted it in all men even 40 or over. But the National Cancer Institute trial - the results of which were published today - shows that questions must be asked.

Read the study.

Read the news release from the National Cancer Institute.
