15/x Summary:
- President Biden’s physician followed the current USPSTF recommendation to not perform PSA screening in men >70yo
- However, the USPSTF recommendations are flawed as PCa is common in men >70yo, is often more aggressive, if untreated men are more likely to die of PCa, and many men will live 15+ years.
- Focus should be on increased PSA screening, but reductions in over-dx and over-tx.
- Unfortunately, President Biden’s presentation is not uncommon in men >75yo diagnosed with PCa.
Get screened! @UHhospitals @RadOncUH
