The article in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute entitled
"Incidence of Intitial Local Therapy Among Men With Lower-Risk Prostate
Cancer in the United States" was reported on by ABC two nights ago. It is
in the Augst 16, 2006 issue of the journal.
It finds that among those with low-risk cancers upon diagnosis, 10% were
overtreated with a radical prostatectomy and 45% with radiation therapy. I
got a copy of the article and read it over. 73,566 men were included in the
SEER registry.
Has anyone else posting here read the entire article and not just the
summary?
