PSA Test Could Be Improved to Spot Prostate Cancer
(HealthDay):
"HealthDay - MONDAY, May 16 (HealthDay News) --

According to news conference moderator Dr. Christopher Amling, chief of urology at Oregon Health & Science University in Portland, the AUA modified its prostate cancer screening guidelines in 2009 to recommend that men should start screening at age 40, or age 45 at the latest.
