Big 89-page eBook!  The PSA test has screened 30 million American men annually for over three decades. The man who discovered PSA in 1970 now calls mass screening "a public health disaster." The test has a false positive rate of up to 80%. Two landmark trials found no survival benefit from radical surgery compared to watchful waiting. Yet the $3 billion annual industry continues largely unabated — each elevated reading triggering a cascade of biopsies, surgeries, and radiation treatments that leave millions of men incontinent, impotent, or both, for a disease that 97% of them would never have died from.

The PSA Trap assembles the evidence from inside the system: the scientist who discovered PSA and spent decades fighting its misuse, practicing urologists who documented the harm they witnessed, oncologists who treat screening's victims, and the men and families who lived through unnecessary treatment. From the arbitrary threshold that triggers intervention, to the financial architecture that sustains it, to the regulatory failures that allowed it, this book provides what the screening industry does not — the full picture of what the PSA test actually measures, what it cannot tell you, and what the evidence says about the choices that follow. It then goes further than any of its source material with a practical toolkit: scripts for the conversations your doctor isn't designed to have, a decision framework built from the evidence, and a checklist of fifteen questions — with answers — that every man deserves before consenting to a test, a biopsy, or a treatment. It is the information the system won't give you, in a form you can carry into the room where the decisions are made.  45 pages!
