James Dickinson
James Dickinson is a family doctor and adjunct professor at the University of Calgary, known for his influential role in shaping prostate cancer screening guidelines in Canada. He was a co-author of the 2014 Canadian recommendation against routine PSA screening, emphasizing the need to balance the benefits of early detection with the risks of overdiagnosis. Dickinson has engaged in discussions about the implications of recent research indicating rising rates of late-stage prostate cancer diagnoses, suggesting that improvements in imaging technology may have influenced these statistics rather than an actual increase in cancer incidence.
