02: Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA) – a Man’s Check Engine Light - Judd W. Moul, MD
Today, we're very happy to have Dr. Judd Moul, an international prostate cancer expert from Duke University, joining us on the podcast. In today's episode, Dr. Moul will be talking about the importance of the PSA, or the Prostate Specific Antigen, which is like a check-engine light for men's prostate health.
Dr. Moul joined the Duke faculty in 2004, after a career in the US Army Medical Corps, where he was mainly at the Walter Reed National Military Medical Center. Dr. Moul, who served as the editor for Prostate Cancer and Prostate Disease Journal, has authored and co-authored over 275 scientific manuscripts and book chapters. He is a retired colonel, and also a noted researcher and clinician in the area of prostate cancer. He is also a popular speaker and lecturer, having been a visiting professor and keynote speaker throughout America and the world.
Be sure to listen in today, to hear what Dr. Moul has to share about the importance of the PSA.

Show Highlights:
Dr. Moul explains what a PSA is. What is measured in the PSA test. The PSA test first came out in the late '80s. Initially, several companies were making the test, and there were no national standards at the time, so the results could vary, depending on where the test was done. Dr. Thomas Stamey, a famous Stanford urologist, came up with a standard for PSA testing. Dr. Moul explains how doctors checked men's prostates in the years before the PSA tests became available. The problem with doctors prescribing antibiotics for suspected prostate infections. A digital rectal prostate exam is still very important, even in combination with the PSA. The guidelines that Dr. Moul prefers to refer to, with regards to using the PSA for prostate cancer screening. There was an unsettling trend, in around 2012, that resulted in millions of American men not getting PSA or prostate cancer screening. Today, urologists are doing a very good job of determining who needs to go for an evaluation for elevated PSA. There are some very important things that The US Preventative Services Task Force needs to recognize around the cutting-off of PSA testing for certain men. Links and resources:
