Early Detection and Diagnosis

There is a large industry built up around testing for prostate cancer and the article as it was written seemed biased towards testing. I have attempted to remove some of this bias and balance it with the American Cancer Society's position statement. Further, new EN2 testing may greatly alter how frequently expensive procedures such as a biopsy are called for.

To help prevent what is hopefully a more balanced and update section from magically disappearing, I have created this discussion to record changes made and offer a place for anyone that deems the section needs to be changed a spot to record changes.

NICE guideline

National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence. Clinical guideline 175: Prostate cancer. London, 2014. is out. It might be useful. JFW | T@lk 06:50, 15 January 2014 (UTC)

clinical prostate cancer?

What is the difference between clinical prostate cancer and regular prostate cancer? I'm just wondering if it's wordy or verbose? Zaurus (talk) 18:28, 28 February 2014 (UTC)

Yes just wordy and verbose. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) (if I write on your page reply on mine) 20:57, 28 February 2014 (UTC)

Poor diagram

I think the diagram with the caption "When normal cells are damaged beyond repair, they are eliminated by apoptosis." is very simplistic and should be removed. Firstly, it is general to all cancers so should be on the main cancer page if anywhere. But the main problem is that it is so simplistic that it adds absolutely nothing to the article, and the caption requires no illustration. Andrewthomas10 (talk) 14:05, 12 July 2014 (UTC)

Agree and done. Doc James (talk · contribs · email) (if I write on your page reply on mine) 00:57, 15 July 2014 (UTC)

UK Epidemiology

Hi, I'm from Cancer Research UK and going to add some UK stats to the epidemiology section complied from ONS, ISD Scotland, Welsh Cancer Intelligence and Surveillance Unit and the Northern Ireland Cancer Registry as summarised on the Cancer Research UK website.

Female prostate cancer

See main article on prostate. Women have prostates (surprise!) and can get prostate cancer (isn't equality grand?). 184.77.68.158 (talk) 06:04, 6 October 2014 (UTC)
