Perthbum Posted April 10, 2018 Share Posted April 10, 2018 latest big study...interesting reading. Routine blood test for prostate cancer 'doesn't save lives' Wednesday March 7 2018 Page contents Where did the story come from? What kind of research was this? What did the research involve? What were the basic results? How did the researchers interpret the results? Conclusion "Screening for prostate cancer does not save lives, and may do more harm than good," reports the Daily Telegraph. Research involving more than 400,000 men in the UK found those invited for screening were more likely to have prostate cancerdiagnosed but no less likely from die of it. The study involved 573 GP practices, with some assigned to offer all men aged 50 to 69 a prostate specific antigen (PSA) test, while the others only offered tests if men asked for them. Men whose results suggested possible prostate cancer then had a biopsy, and those found to have cancer were treated. https://www.nhs.uk/news/cancer/routine-blood-test-prostate-cancer-doesnt-save-lives/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose its confusing because the health forum is listed in the life in oz section. i thought it was for stuff in oz like the health system or how things in oz are done or accessed etc as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest The Pom Queen Posted April 13, 2018 Share Posted April 13, 2018 There wouldn’t be any other suitable category for it so it’s placed by the moderators in the one deemed most suitable. Unfortunately we can’t have a category for every single subject matter, reporting the post saying it needs to be moved to UK chat I’m afraid was not considered as that doesn’t fit the subject matter either and as it’s about a study on Prostate Cancer, whether the study would have been done in China, India, America etc it would have still been placed in health Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway well done PB for bringing it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
