Despite recomendations, old men are still being screened for prostate cancer.

It is generally accepted that men with more than 75 years and have no complaints to urinate, should no longer be subjected to preventive examinations for prostate cancer. But they continue to be performed.
It is already known, after extensive research, that 83% percent of this cancer in this age group is not fatal and only 3% of men over 75 years have passed away due to prostate tumor.
