Toronto, ON – January 4, 2012 – On January 10, Toronto will host TIEd Together, a photo exhibition by PhotoSensitive in partnership with Prostate Cancer Canada. This unique and memorable photo exhibit is part of a multi-city tour which showcases over 100 images and stories of people affected by prostate cancer.


It was recently published in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA)  that  the “SELECT Trial” for prostate cancer prevention with oral Vitamin E and selenium supplementation, alone or In combination, compared to placebo, was negative i.e. there was no benefit with the supplements in terms of prostate cancer prevention.


The United States Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) has recently recommended against the use of prostate specific antigen (PSA) to screen for prostate cancer in asymptomatic men. In light of this development, Prostate Cancer Canada (PCC) wishes to clarify its position on PSA testing. PCC continues to support and recommend PSA testing for the early detection of prostate cancer.    PCC emphasizes that, applied appropriately, PSA is a useful test.  A full discussion with the patient on the pros and cons of PSA testing should continue to be an integral part of patient management.
