Is the PSA reliable?
I read recently that new research shows 'prostate cancer' may actually be 4 or 5 different types of cancer and PSA is a very good marker for 2 types but not relevant for the others. This would explain the apparent inconsistencies in the results. And it means the test is still very valid as long as you appreciate it limitation.
