  2. Prostate screening: When more information is a bad thing

    The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force's recommendation against routine use of a blood test that can offer early detection of prostate cancer has led to puzzlement and anger. The reaction has been similar to that following the group's suggestion two years ago that routine mammograms be sharply curtailed. As with mammograms and <a href=&quot;../../health/breastcancer/">breast cancer</a>, many of those who received treatment for prostate cancer after a blood test showed elevated levels of prostate-specific antigen &mdash; a marker for prostate cancer &mdash; are convinced that the screening saved their lives. To them, eliminating the test is like saying they should have been allowed to die. That sort of argument is powerful but flawed, and it risks subjecting millions of other men to unnecessary and potentially dangerous consequences.

  7. Pair of studies may offer clarity on mammograms

    After several years of upheaval over the best way to conduct breast cancer screening, researchers are working to find clarity over when women should begin getting mammograms, how often and at what cost. A pair of new studies clears up some of the uncertainty by finding that women who have a mother or sister diagnosed with breast cancer, or those who have unusually dense breast tissue,<strong> </strong>should have their first test at age 40 and repeat the exam at least once every other year.
