BOB CURRIER MARCO CME GRAND ROUNDS OF THE AIR, June 5, 2005

From Warren, KD4GUA:

Sunday we discussed Osteoporosis and had 42 check-ins (the record is 43).

Since all men if they live long enough will get cancer of the prostate and since it is normal (51%or more) for a man over 80 to have ca of the prostate,
we men are all going to making a decision as to what to do about it sometime in the future.

Since most statistics on therapy are based on pre-PSA testing, the post PSA testing results are starting to come through and the results are interesting. (PSA gives us a lead time of about 6 years over pre-PSA testing which ended about 1990.) If you reach 70 is a rectal exam necessary? I think so.

Tune in Sunday 14.308 10 a.m. eastern.

Also, Bob KF1J asked on the Echolink net "should one get CME credit by NOT checking in on radio but by listening to the net through the computer? " To listen to last weeks discussion put the following on your browser (not your search engine) http://ny01.mediacast1.com:9698/content/marco20050605.pls IT POPS RIGHT UP! Chip is doing a great job!
