Is brachy indicated after sepsis from the biopsy? I’d sure be leery of that.

Re: When to stop PSA testing. I have not read this yet (it just came into my inbox this morning), but the synopsis looks hopeful for more men getting screened later in life and having those tests INTERPRETED MORE INTELLIGENTLY so as to avoid alarm and unnecessary procedures. https://www.news-medical.net/news/20260428/NCCN-publishes-new-patient-guide-for-prostate-cancer-screening.aspx?utm_source=news_medical_newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=prostate_cancer_newsletter_10_may_2026
