According to
CNN Health,
annual prostate cancer screening is not found to save lives. When cancer leads to disability, you could qualify to collect
Social Security disability benefits.Previous research has shown similar results but now a large study involving 76,000 men for the past 10 to 13 years, has revealed that
although prostate cancer screening does help in detecting it, it does not reduce mortality rates. This appears to back up the recommendations given by the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) in October 2011.
USPSTF recommended against screenings for prostate cancer because of concerns with inaccuracy. There is belief by some that the risk of men receiving unnecessary treatment is greater than the benefits.
Needless treatment for prostate cancer can lead to side effects such as incontinence, impotence, and even early death.
Most prostate cancer tumors are slow growing. Aggressive treatment may not be the most beneficial option.
Researchers continue to look for ways of screening that is safer and more reliable. This could help establish the necessity for minimal or aggressive treatment.
