Blood test accurately predicts death from prostate cancer up to 25 years in advance

ScienceDaily (2010-09-16) -- A blood test at the age of 60 can accurately predict the risk that a man will die from prostate cancer within the next 25 years, according to researchers. The findings could have important implications for determining which men should be screened after the age of 60 and which may not benefit substantially from continued prostate cancer screening.
