New findings raise questions about PSA screening criteria.
Stopping PSA testing at age 70 may be premature, at least in men with high-risk disease and long life expectancies, researchers conclude.
The survival benefit is limited to men aged 55-69 years at initial screening, large European study finds.
Use of biennial strategy with longer interval for low PSA levels reduces tests, false-positive results
