Dr. David Samadi clarifies confusion surrounding the new government recommendation that healthy men forgo PSA screening. As he explains, the panel’s decision is based on older studies of older men, rather than newer studies of younger men – the group most likely to benefit from PSA tests. Since 1990, prostate cancer deaths have decreased 40% as a result of early prostate cancer testing and early diagnosis. Dr. Samadi stresses the need for individualized care explaining that testing healthy, younger men allows them to establish a PSA baseline, from which annual PSA screenings can monitor changes referred to as the PSA velocity.

Product Description
At age 53, I was diagnosed with advanced prostate cancer. It was in June 2005 that my PSA was 23.5 with a Gleason of 7. All 12 cores of the biopsy had cancer, 2 up to 75%. I knew action had to be taken, but what would I choose? Based on the current trend in medicine, I decided to go the holistic route. My research concluded that I had over 95% probability of recurrence. Therefore, in my use of holistic treatment, in conjunction with traditional treatment I got tremendous results. But sadly 9 months after treatment all signs indicated my cancer was back. I was able to discover a holistic treatment that reduced my PSA 100%.

If you’re approaching 50, your PSA score should be right up there on your list of important numbers to know — just like cholesterol and blood pressure. These scores, put together, provide an important snapshot of your health for both you and your doctor. Just what does PSA stand for? Prostate specific androgen, a substance churned out by cells in the prostate gland. And since elevated PSA levels might be linked to prostate cancer, or even to a benign enlargement of the gland, the number is important for physicians to keep an eye on. In this week’s video clip — the last in our series on men’s health — Dr. Jean Joseph discusses the prostate, and why it’s important to be screened. He also has some reassuring information about prostate enlargement, and the latest treatments available right here at the University of Rochester Medical Center.
