Sometimes pain in the neck or back is caused by a problem in the shoulder, hip, or extremities. Common mimics are rotator cuff tear, bursitis in the hip, peripheral nerve compression, and arthritis in the shoulder and hip.

The prostate-specific antigen (PSA) value is only one of the risk factors for prostate cancer, and no PSA value rules cancer in or out. Therefore, our laboratory reports will no longer list 4.0 μg/L as the upper limit of normal. Instead, we will estimate the patient’s actual risk.
