Abandoning isolated free PSA screenings for more comprehensive cardiovascular and cancer screening and education
1University of Michigan Medical Center, Department of Urology, Ann Arbor, MI, USA.
Abstract:
The time is ripe to abandon free PSA screenings and replace them with free comprehensive health screenings. For example, cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk screening (cholesterol, blood pressure) that could also include PSA, weight measurement, and a variety of other tests and educational assessments just make more sense in terms of the larger picture of influencing all-cause morbidity and mortality. Numerous reasons are proffered for this important change. Abandoning this myopic single-disease only approach must be embraced by numerous medical centers and health professionals before this comprehensive approach can be successfully implemented.
