PSA Testing Still Valuable for Prostate Cancer

assistant professor at New York Hospital-Weill Medical College, both in New York City.

"If we see a treatment is bringing the PSA down rapidly, that's obviously a response," she said. "But if it's not changing, or increasing, we should consider switching treatments."

If prostate cancer is suspected, the patient must undergo a biopsy to determine if it is present.

An alternative to biopsy is showing much promise, Slovin noted.

Using an MRI screening of the patient in tandem with an endorectal probe -- a rubber, gel-filled "finger" that presses against the rectal wall -- doctors are getting astonishing results, she said.

"You can get an almost textbook picture of what's on the other side of the rectal wall," she said. "It shows if cancer has spread, and how invaded the prostate is. It's also minimally invasive compared with biopsies."
