The finding was published online in Lancet Oncology. "In this trial, prostate cancer screening was well accepted by the general population and can result in a relevant reduction in cancer mortality, greater than that reported in screening for breast and colorectal cancer," conclude the researchers, headed by Jonas Hugosson, MD, from the Department of Urology at the University of Gotenburg, Sweden. more 7701 Las Colinas Blvd., Ste. 800, Irving, TX 75063
