By the way, the reason that prostate cancer survival rates look so good in the USA is because of the screening program.

They are finding more prostate cancers that would never have been discovered otherwise, as they show no symptoms, grow veeeery slowly therefore require no treatment unless the person bearing it lives so long that it becomes a problem.
