Too many men having prostate cancer biopsies, warn scientists
Scientists said doctors should not rely on testing how quickly the level of a key protein, called prostate specific antigen (PSA), rises. If a patient's PSA level rises quickly, they are often considered to be at risk and consequently sent for a biopsy, which is the only certain way to tell whether they have the disease, which kills 10,000 men a year in Britain.
