An article in the Journal of the American Medical Association this week presents a detailed case discussion regarding the diagnosis and potential management of a 64-year-old man with an elevated PSA found as a consequence of investigations related to problems of erectile dysfunction. This may make interesting reading for many patients and is likely to be a very useful resource for support group leaders and educators. The full text is available on line.
Sanda and Kaplan have provided an exhaustive review of the options in the case, together with the pros and cons of each option, and inclusive of the patient’s perspective. The case study is based on a presentation and discussion at a Surgical Grand Rounds at the Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, Boston. We’ll leave readers to determine the precise course of the patient’s treatment based on the information in this really excellent article.
