A member asked:
Avodart keeps psa low. so how would the psa test help somebody diagnose prostate cancer if the med keeps the number low?

No affect survival: Scroll down to medications part. Have to adjust PSA concentration 'manually' depending on how long you've been on 5a-reductatse inhibitor. http://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/718972_4
