BLACK OR WHITE - There are several very good reasons why ALL men should be skeptical about the "science" of prostate cancer detection and treatment.
> the PSA is neither specific for prostate cancer or for the prostate itself and associated with a false positive rate of 78%.
> urologists own studies have shown that PSA testing FAILS to save significant numbers of lives - see the PLCO study referenced in my articles on this site.
> the grossly unscientific and risky ultrasound-guided needle biopsy (whether trans-rectal or trans-perineal ) samples blindly and randomly about 0.1% of the prostate - meaning that we are clueless about what's going on in the 99.9% rest of the prostate. Surveillance biopsies therefore, are a shameful recommendation.
> the Gleason grading and scoring system is complex and troubled by significant amounts of errors of interpretation amongst pathologists. What do you really have?
> the Gleason grade 3 as in the 3+3=6 "cancer" lacks the hallmarks of a cancer on both clinical and molecular biology grounds. Those in the prostate cancer industry have known this fact for some years but continue to work hard to keep this fraudulent cancer label for the grade 3 in place. There is an urgent need to correct this immoral misrepresentation so that we stop freaking out our patients.
> radical prostate cancer surgery FAILS to save significant numbers of lives - see urologists own PIVOT study cited in my articles on this site.
> most if not all treatment studies - whether whole gland or focal - cannot be trusted as they are invariably corrupted by mixes of various Gleason grades and scores, incorrect diagnoses, various tumor volumes and arbitrary treatment of participants with testosterone suppression.
> there is no urgency as the 10 year survival whether treated or not is similar.
"Insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results" - Einstein
Anyone stepping into the treacherous prostate cancer arena should read the 2 books exposing its rotten underbelly - before getting injured;
The Great Prostate Hoax - Ablin and Piana
The Rise and Fall of the Prostate Cancer Scam - Anthony Horan MD
Very clearly then, there is very good reason for all men - black or white - to be very skeptical of much that is recommended in the prostate cancer arena.
