How reliable is PSA testing? : Prostate specific antigen (PSA) blood test

How reliable is PSA testing? How reliable is the prostate specific antigen (PSA) blood test? The PSA test is highly unreliable. In this video you will learn that: the prostate specific antigen test is NOT specific for the prostate or specific for prostate cancer the PSA limits of 0-4 ng/ml being normal are arbitrary and meaningless the PSA is associated with a false positive rate of 78%, easily raised or lowered by benign events most cancers are detected because the PSA was raised by the enlarged prostate and not the cancer detected some potentially deadly high-grade prostate cancers produce little or no PSA and will escape detection there’s no scientific evidence that the Prostate Cancer Awareness and Active Surveillance programs save significant numbers of lives countless men are injured in the process of prostate cancer testing and treatment without benefit the prostate cancer narrative exploits false hope and false promises by recycling misinformation the claims about the benefits of prostate cancer screening and treatment are untrue Please leave comments and questions below and hit SUBSCRIBE if this video helped.
