From USA Today, today

At most, one man in 1,000 screened will avoid a prostate cancer death through 10 years. The best and largest study in the U.S. found that no deaths were avoided. Of those 1,000 men, two to three will have a serious complication of treatment, such as a blood clot, heart attack, stroke or even death. As many as 40 will have erectile dysfunction, urinary incontinence or both. There is only a tiny chance that the men who suffer those harms have benefited from the test.

Goes along with what I've read, before, and am gonna show the article to my Dr. I'll sure miss that finger, though.
