'Alarming' rise in possibly fatal prostate cancer seen as screening declines

“These data illustrate the trade-off between higher screening rates and more early-stage disease diagnoses and lower screening rates and more late-stage disease,” Jemal and his colleagues wrote in the study released in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute, or JCNI.The researchers analyzed nationwide data on more than 2 million prostate cancer cases, mostly early-stage disease, diagnosed in men 50 and older between 2005 and 2016.

By comparison, the incidence of advanced cancers that had spread beyond the prostate gland — known as regional-stage or distant-stage cancers — increased at “an alarming rate,” Jemal told NBC News. For instance, among men 50 to 74, the incidence of distant-stage, metastatic cancers increased by 2.4 percent per year from 2008 to 2012 and by 5.6 percent per year from 2012 to 2016. Among men 75 and older, the incidence of distant-stage disease increased by 5.2 percent per year from 2010 to 2016.

Statistics show that PSA testing rates in men 50 and older declined from 40.6 percent in 2008 to 38.3 percent in 2010 and 31.5 percent in 2013, the researchers noted. Rates remained unchanged in 2015. Jemal said he hopes current federal screening recommendations will prompt men to talk with their doctors about the pros and cons of PSA screening so more aggressive cancers may be caught. “There has to be a balance,” he said.

PSA tests are no longer standard.

Aha, as the the Boomer generation enter old age and are diagnosed with late stage prostate cancer, the number of early stage prostate cancer drops. Due to the logjam of one very large generation giving way to another. This will happen as well... with the “entitlement” programs.

Are they NOT taking PSA test

Prostate cancer increased in men over 50? Shut down the economy....now.

If they tested every old boy who died, many would have passed with prostate cancer. It's like some of the stats about Covid-19 - many will have died with it, but not necessarily from it. This is why making like for like comparisons between regions is ridiculous.

Most investors don't think this rally is for real, according to widely followed Wall Street surveyAmid a surge that has seen the S&P 500 rise 32% since the March 23 trough, some 68% of survey respondents called the move a 'bear market rally.' It's not. We flooded the system with money of course it's for real Maybe the fact that the market rally is completely divorced from reality might have something to do with it.
