As most risk SNPs have been found in non-coding regions of the genome, with many residing some distance from nearby annotated genes, it is believed that many of these (or their closely linked causal SNPs) will be located in regulatory domains of the genome that control gene expression rather...
Most professional societies do not recommend routine screening for prostate cancer with DRE or serum tumor markers (e.g., PSA). These include the American Academy of Family Physicians, the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF), the Institute for Clinical Systems Improvement, the Canadian ...
Indeed, in many countries, prostate cancer has become the most common non-skin cancer diagnosed in men, surpassing lung cancer [1]. It is widely believed that this increase in prostate cancer diagnosis directly relates to the increased use of PSA screening. As a result of this screening, ...

In the absence of RCT of benefit for screening, many now suggest “informed consensus” screening, which encourages a discussion between the patient and his physician with both sides informed of all of the issues. Citation: XU Yang,DONG Birong. Discussion on Screening for Prostate Cancer. ...
policy should be for the provider to offer the test to the patient based either on a risk-assessment protocol or on the provider's clinical index of suspicion. Failure to have such a system in place will ultimately lead to many missed diagnoses of prostate cancer. This would be very concern...
In 1990 and 1991 we conducted one-day screens for prostate cancer. This analysis was undertaken to determine the value of the screening procedures for detecting prostate cancer in the community. A total of 579 men, aged 3984 years (mean 58 years), were evaluated by digital rectal examination ...
In 1995, there will be 244,000 new cases of prostate cancer, and 40,400 deaths from prostate cancer, among men in the United States. The American Cancer So
