两位博士都认为,筛查应基于个人偏好和个体风险,且需要更好的筛查方式,让医生可以将注意力集中在需要加以治疗且可以治愈的癌症之上。他们说,新的颇具前途的成像技术和生物标记物血液检测均在研究当中。
“But they’re not ready for prime time, so we’re stuck with the hand we’ve been dealt, the PSA test, which is an imperfect test,” Dr. Penson said. “But we can do a better job with it.”
“但它们还不够成熟,所以我们只能将就使用手头现有的这个差强人意的PSA检测,”彭森博士说。“不过,我们可以更好地利用它。”
