New Study: Men over 75 shouldn’t be tested for Prostate Cancer

According to a recent study by the US Preventative Task Force, detailed here at the WSJ Health Blog, says it’s not healthy for men over the age of 75 to be tested for prostate cancer. Unless the man is showing signs that he is suffering from the disease, it’s not necessary to test for the disease due to the risks and stress that the test can cause. It’s far more likely at that point that the men will die of a non-prostate cancer related cause.
