    Nov 7th, 2009

    Men with elevated PSA (prostate specific antigen) levels may not always need prostate biopsy. New findings show that parathyroid hormone levels, that naturally elevate with age and are higher among black men, also correlate with elevated PSA levels. Treating men unnecessarily for prostate cancer can lead to side effects of impotence and urinary incontinence. The findings are the first to show that healthy men do not always need prostate biopsy when prostate cancer screening shows higher PSA levels.
