I feel like I read a headline like this every year. I know we are probably getting closer, but is there actually something new this time?

    Far as I can tell:

    • May lead to earlier prostrate cancer detection (which is probably not that useful since prostrate cancer is usually slower so less critical)
    • Specifically no use for breast cancer

    To me, this is not very newsworthy.
