Low-income Men Less Likely to be Screened for Prostate Cancer

Anonymous User writes "Excite once again reveals men's health news that exposes some (perhaps unintentional) inequity in men's health. The article's main focus is the fact that men of lower incomes are less likely to be screened for prostate cancer, but also points out that prostate screenings are not as accurate as they should be. The physician quoted in the story maintains that scientists are seeking ways to improve the accuracy of prostate screenings."
