Australian men should be reassured the PSA blood test conducted in conjunction with a
physical examination is the best available "flag" for the possibility of prostate cancer,
says Dr David Malouf, president of the peak body for urologists, the Urological Society of

Dr Malouf says Australian men should not be alarmed by reported comments by the
inventor of the widely-used blood test, Richard Ablin, regarding the effectiveness of the
test.
