Many medical professionals take issue with a recent study published in the Archives of Internal Medicine that found that getting regular PSA tests was not a significant factor in the ultimate survival of men with prostate cancer. Dr. Jeffery Forman, a prostate cancer specialist at the Karmanos Cancer Institute and professor in the Radiation Oncology Department at Wayne State University , emphasizes that the test, along with a digital rectal examination, is still important for early detection of prostate cancer. "There's no question that early detection leads to an improved cure rate," he points out.
