This is a recent Australian academic study on prostate cancer in men and the debate over whether or not testing is of any value.

It is a free download in PDF format from: http://ses.library.usyd.edu.au/handle/2123/6835

As a man in his early 60's this is a subject I am interested in. If you are at my stage of life: pondering the value of intrusive tests, medicine or surgery with unpleasant side effects, just for the sake of living a few years longer, then maybe download the book and wade through it. Be warned, though - this is a dry, academic study, heavy on statistics. - it isn't the latest Tom Clancy - not for entertainment.
