Subject: FW: Screening Saves Lives (but not for prostate cancer)

Tonight I received the official word on ACS's position on prostate cancer
screening from the ACS's CEO, John R. Seffrin. In the email below, he
states the following, "There are some cancers for which we don't currently
recommend screening, such as prostate cancer, because the benefits are
unclear or unproven." There it is; from the horse's mouth (or maybe it came
from the other end of the horse).
