Investigators found a high rate of PSA testing in the control arm of the study, making any meaningful comparisons with the intervention group impossible. The trial was launched in 1993 and involved 77,000 men with an average risk of prostate cancer who were randomized to receive an annual PSA ...

The new study compared PSA testing in 2010 and 2012 to assess the impact of the new recommendations. The findings were reported in a research letterpublished onlineFebruary 8 inJAMA Internal Medicine. "Definitely we should not be ordering as much prostate cancer screening testing as we are orderi...
In response to these limitations, other countries have chosen to maintain their recommendations for PSA testing but are augmenting the guidelines by incorporating additional criteria to ensure more accurate diagnoses. Elevated PSA Elevated levels of PSA should not always be automatically interpreted as a...
For most men, the benefits of screening with the prostate-specific antigen (PSA) test are outweighed by the harms, according to new recommendations from the American College of Physicians (ACP). The guidelines note that physicians need to inform patients about the benefits and harms of prostate ...
This is relevant to emphasize since the recent recommendations endorse the stratifi- cation of PCa risk according to individual tPSA values and age, aiming to offer biopsy to patients at increased risk of high-grade disease [5, 14–16]. Accordingly, recent studies are developing PSA-based ...
