Message From Prostate Cancer Canada
October 27, 2014 by
Today at 12 noon EDT, The Canadian Task Force on Preventive Health Care (CTFPHC ) will release guidelines recommending that the prostate-specific antigen (PSA) test not be used to screen for prostate cancer based on evidence that shows an increased risk of harm and uncertain benefits. Prostate Cancer Canada disagrees with the recommendations and has launched a full-scale multi-channel campaign to remind Canadians that the benefits of PSA screening far outweigh the negatives.
Hello everyone,
Our campaign website has now launched and you can see it here: www.supportpsatests.ca – please visit to read the material on the site.
And please amplify out to your groups and help advocate for PSA testing!

Stacey Dusik RN, BScN, CRNFA
Stacey will be providing an update on the DaVinci Robot Program at Windsor Regional Hospital at our September 9th meeting.
Stacey’s Biography
In 1994, I graduated from the University of Western Ontario with my BScN. My career began at a private oral surgery office from 1994-2001. In 2001, I began working in the Operating Room at Henry Ford Hospital in Detroit, Michigan. During my years at Henry Ford Hospital my focus of practice was Urological Surgeries. The Urologists at Henry Ford Hospital began working with the daVinci robot in 2001. I was able to be part of the daVinci team. In 2006, my role expanded to Registered Nurse First Assistant thus enabling me to be involved in over 4000 cases. As part of a dedicated team member, I was able to travel around the world teaching and educating others regarding robotic surgeries. The team travelled to countries such as Greece, Italy, India, Malaysia, France, South Korea and China performing surgeries and educating. In June 2014, I became the Clinical Practice Manager at Windsor Regional Hospital, Met Campus. I have the opportunity to be part of the team working and developing the daVinci robotic program in Windsor.
