No, not necessarily a good news for seniors.
If MRI does not detect all prostatic cancer,
then we are going to get an inoperable prostatic cancer
This looks like a turf battle between radiologist and urologist.
One side is going to lose money. It's the matter of who is going to make more money?
And we are going to be the victim.
In the middle of the battle for more money, we will never know what we should do.
Strange... They mentioned monitoring the PSI level in this article.
In geriatric practice and Medicare guideline, they say that we shouldn't be running PSI test.
If I want it, then I have to pay about $50-60 out of my pocket.
Another funny thing is that the lab technician will gladly run the PSI test if I request it
even without the doctor's order.
Anyway, it appears that the senior people are being ignored.
It seems, "Why bother to run the PSI? They are old enough to die anyway."
Anything noninvasive and reliable in medicine is always good.
This is a good news for the aging men who are concerned about
the prostate cancer.
In the commentary in the below, however,
there is the counterpoint.
