Guest guest Posted July 27, 2003 Report Share Posted July 27, 2003 The PSA test is notoriously inaccurate - results varying between 40 and 70 percent accuracy. If you took exercise or ate dairy in the previous 24 hours you will have a high PSA reading. Most interestingly I was listening to a lecture by Professor Julian Peto of Oxford University and Cancer Research UK. He worked with Sir Richard Doll to prove cigarettes caused cancer 20 or so years ago so he is a credible witness!! He stated that in research with British Doctors 90 % of them would not have a PSA test because the results were inaccurate.
