Large Urology Group Practice Association
2012 Annual Meeting
Thursday, November 1 - Saturday, November 3, 2012
Please tell us about your Large Urology Group!
If your group has ten or more urologists, the LUGPA needs to know about you! Collecting this information is critical to our efforts; only by identifying as many large groups as possible can the LUGPA realize its full potential to enhance the activities of large urology practices.

PSA Saves Live - Protect Patients' Rights!
The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force has recommended healthy men should no longer receive prostate-specific antigen (PSA) blood tests as part of routine cancer screening.
- This decision is being made by a panel that does not include urologists or oncologists. No new research has been cited that would call for this drastic change in prostate cancer testing recommendations since the USPSTF considered this issue in 2009.
- In 2009, this same task force tried unsuccessfully to eliminate mammograms for women ages 40-49 and recommended against teaching women to do breast self exams, which Congress rejected after public outcry.
