Why do the epidemiologists just pick on prostate cancer with the “informed decision” argument? What about other cancers?
The picture above is from knots in a pine board in our river cabin. It looks just like our dog..Chloe. If you are going to recommend to patients to really consider making a decision about whether they should even have a PSA done because of being diagnosed of a cancer that may not need to …
