Prostate test ‘can predict death risk’

A research at Duke University Medical Center has found that men who have a baseline PSA value of 10 or higher the first time they are tested are up to 11 times more likely to die from prostate cancer than are men with lower initial values. 

The research team suggests the finding supports routine, early prostate-specific antigen (PSA) screening among healthy men with normal life expectancy - a practice several studies have recently questioned.
