In today's episode we share the link between prostate cancer and alcohol, but more importantly, discuss the key thing to think about when looking at older literature on a topic.
As integrative clinicians, we are often excited about innovation in testing and assessment. We enjoy being the "health detective" that uses the latest technology to help patients be "found" or accurately diagnosed.
If we want to be innovative with assessment, we also have to apply a particular thought process to the way we read older literature. Are older studies conducted on who we think they are? Or did we change our diagnostic criteria enough that a study published in the 80s is no longer studying who we think we are studying?
We use the conversation about PSA as a screening tool and alcohol intake as a good example of this.
