LOL Biden camp claims he hadn’t gotten a PSA test since 2014

[scruffy]

I'm not 'facing' any of your goofy inclinations. Never have. I detest Hillary as much as your orange bag 'O shit. I already know democrats lie. It's just magaturds have them beat 10-fold in that arena.

Horseshit.

Hillary is an outright psychopath.

Trump is just goofy.

 

[krichton]

… yeah, and I’m 8 ft tall.

Does anyone actually believe this? A Vice President, major figure, and president never got basic blood work I’ve the past 9 years?

It’s amazing they even try to say something so unbelievable.

Biden's office says his 'last known' prostate cancer screening was in 2014

Former President Joe Biden's office says his “last known” prostate cancer screening was in 2014, and he had never been diagnosed with the disease before last week.

At first glance, yes, but the American Cancer Society doesn't recommend the PSA for men over 70. In fact, they advise against it. I guess because most prostate cancer has a growth rate of 10-20 years before it becomes a problem and treatment can be more harmful than beneficial. The gist of what they're saying seems to be don't fix what aint broke, when you got one foot in the grave anyway.

The CDC recommendation is not to have PSA Testing after the age of 70...

Only the good Lord knows why???

Should I Get Screened for Prostate Cancer?

Talk to your doctor about the benefits and harms of prostate cancer screening.

www.cdc.gov

In 2018, the US Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) made the following recommendations about prostate cancer screening:

• Men who are 55 to 69 years old should make individual decisions about being screened for prostate cancer with a prostate specific antigen (PSA) test.
• Before deciding, men should talk to their doctor about the benefits and harms of screening for prostate cancer, including the benefits and harms of other tests and treatment.
• Men who are 70 and older should not be screened for prostate cancer routinely.

This recommendation applies to men who:

• Are at average risk for prostate cancer.
• Are at increased risk for prostate cancer.
• Do not have symptoms of prostate cancer.
• Have never been diagnosed with prostate cancer.

Other organizations, like the American Urological Association and the American Cancer Society, may have other recommendations.

Your link, if you read it, is about a prostate biopsy not a simple psa test that’s tested via a simple routine blood draw

Nobody believes these dembots but you dembot cultist

Where did they say that?

Prostate Cancer Screening Tests

The PSA blood test can be used to look for prostate cancer. If the PSA test result is abnormal, other tests, such as a prostate biopsy, might be needed. Find out more here.

No, its about the psa test....

 

[Mr. Friscus]

No, its about the psa test....

A PSA test is a blood test.. like cholesterol or blood cell count. There’s nothing invasive. It’s a standard test for routine bloodwork

 

[BULLDOG]

It is 100% unreasonable to believe that a male Senator, Vice President or President age 40 or older getting the Cadillac healthcare they enjoy would not have had at least one PSA test every year. And while a rising PSA does not always mean cancer, it warrants careful attention to the possibility of cancer. No competent doctor would omit that test.

The CDC seems to disagree with you.

In 2018, the US Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) made the following recommendations about prostate cancer screening:

I know it is just a simple blood test, but the CDC does recommend to not bother with the testing after 70....?? Or talk with your doctor about not testing anymore after 70....

That’s a biopsy. You can blood test yourself daily if you want, no harm done. The media and Democrats are lying to you again.

That says men in that age should make their own decisions on PSA testing.

Doesn’t say 70 and older should. In fact it says they shouldn’t get screened regularly. Doesn’t. Say they should make their own decisions and doesn’t mention PSAs specifically

Then it further goes on to say who those recommendations apply to. And xiden was at increased risk considering he already had cancer

To suggest he wasn’t tested is laughable, almost as your attempts to deflect with your inability to read

No, it is not a biopsy they are talking about MrFriscus...it says they are talking about the PSA TESTING.

I posted it again from the CDC website, right above....they say PSA test is recommended from 55- 69yrs old, and not recommended after 70 yrs old....but talk with your doctor about it?

Am I the only one whose doctor checks his prostate every annual physical?

Guys?

Ladies who identify as guys?

 

[Care4all]

All I am saying is Biden still has an opening for him telling us the truth that he hadn't been tested since 2014.

I think it is bat shit crazy not to continue testing after 70 and can't imagine not testing for the hubby after he reaches 70yrs old, but my husband has had prostate cancer, did radiation therapy, and I wish they were testing him 4 times a year instead of twice a year, so in case the cancer comes back, if aggressive, we could catch it early!

Shoot, I'd have him do the PSA test once a month from here on out until he is 90, God willing we live that long!!!

So for me, it is hard to understand not just doing the PSA testing, forever until you die!!!

BUT, the CDC clearly says after 70 it is optional and not recommended and leaves it up to the patient and their doctor to continue testing after 70.

 

[Care4all]

My grandfather had a stroke at 90, and died a month or two afterwards. When hospitalized, they told us my grandfather had prostate cancer and had colon cancer...and if he survived the stroke, even 100% back to normal, they would not treat the other two cancers, and just let them slowly progress.

So he must have not been testing PSA or doing colonoscopies anymore on him???

False readings or false interpretations of readings of the test, can lead to invasive testing of other kinds, digital, or biopsies (which the hubby says was A BEAR, in the painful rage of 11 on a scale of 1-10!)

Apparently, as one ages...the PSA naturally goes up, and this causes panic and cover your ass....invasive testing by doctors that is unnecessary...
