the american neurological association says they are still working on their response. to help me sort it out for you, i'm with dr. christopher lega i legathitis. what will you tell your patients now if anything different based on what's just happened? >> i think first of all, i haven't received the official report or had the chance to review it in detail. but based on the availability information, the dilemma that we discussed in the clinic every day is actually reflected in this decision which suggests that there is harm and purely focused on the benefits of detecting cancer ignores the fact that many patients are exposed to the risk of overtreatment and its complications. i think the most accurate figure that exists on this is approximately 44 interventions need to be made in order for one patient to be saved. >> one thing besides getting a static number, a one number psa test, what also seems to matter is the trend. so, for example, if you have a number and then it goes up or jumps up significantly over a year or two, that's valuable information for doctors to know

we reached out to the american neurological association, as well. they told us they were still working on their response. to help me sort it out for you, i'm with dr. christopher legafitas, oncology at m.d. anderson cancer center, and has these conversations with patients all the time. what will you tell patient now if anything different since what's happened? >> first of all, i haven't received the foisht report or reviewed it in detail. based on the available information, the dilemma that we discuss in the clinic every day is actually reflected in this decision which suggests that there is harm and purely focused on the benefits of detecting cancer, ignores the fact that many patients are exposed to the risk of overtreatment and its complications. i think the most accurate figure that soifexists on this is that approximately 44 interventions need to be made in order for one patient to be saved. >> one thing -- correct me if i'm wrong, besides getting a static number, a one-number psa test, what also seems to matter is the trend. for example, if yo

now we look to the high schools and schools, the american association of neurological surgeons says 300,000 concussions a year, 45,000 of them end up in the emergency room. those are big unless. jenna: so why isn't there guidelines right now? >> well, there isn't guidelines because nobody takes it seriously when it's down on the high school level, but you know what, there's a whole problem with the culture here. you know what it is? we're taught to put on a helmet as though it's protecting our heads, then charge forward, head first, and you hit your head, you end up with a concussion. let me talk about the symptoms of a concussion for a minute, headache, nausea, vomiting, blurry vision, those are common -- confusion, you don't know where you are right away, everybody knows about what -- about those but they don't know it's occuring because your brain has been shook and when it happens to you once it can happen to you much more easily the second time. jenna: what do you guidelines include or what do you think they should have in them? >> 41 percent of students surveyed said that they get bac

neurology. we are part of the work of that association in our state. could you talk about the work being done to develop meaningful evidence based clinical practice guidelines? i know that is happening so that we are able to get guidelines for athletes and if there is any scientific data available. >> right now you will see maybe a dozen or more consensus statements, groups get together and come up with what the experts think should be the best way to approach concussion diagnosis and management. today there has not been an effort that is looked at the totality of the literature in a critical way looking at the quality of data, sorting through papers, and coming up with what we have that is evidence based in this issue. that is what the effort was. the started this two and a half years ago. a committee of 12 people. other medical specialties, sports medicine, there's -- narrows ecology. the goal was to create a sense of where we are and where we need to go. there are some of our management practices that have evidence, but i will tell you most don't. a
