Guest guest Posted November 20, 2005 Report Share Posted November 20, 2005 I will leave the last word to Myers, MD " WITHOUT A RANDOMIZED CONTROLLED TRIAL SHOWING AN IMPROVEMENT IN OVERALL SURVIVAL, RADICAL PROSTATECTOMY SHOULD NOT BE ACCEPTED AS STANDARD TREATMENT FOR NEWLY DIAGNOSED MEN WITH PROSTATE CANCER, ESPECIALLY FOR THOSE WITH A GLEASON SCORE OF 6 OR BELOW AND A PSA UNDER 10 NG/ML. IT IS TOO DAMAGING FOR THE PATIENT AND TOO EXPENSIVE FOR OUR HEALTH CARE SYSTEM TO BE ACCEPTED WHEN WE STILL LACK PROOF OF ITS EFFECTIVENESS.
