Experts have new advice on prostate cancer screening. Here’s why they put it back on the table

LA Times  

In a shift that puts early detection of prostate cancer back on the agenda of middle-aged men and their doctors, a federal panel of experts is recommending that men ages 55 to 69 weigh the potential harms and benefits of prostate cancer screening and judge whether getting tested feels right to them. A recommendation issued Tuesday by the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force judged the “net benefits” of screening these men for prostate cancer to be small. But the panel said the prostate-specific antigen, or PSA, test should be offered to them “based on professional judgment and patient preferences.” For men 70 and older, the task force stuck with an earlier recommendation against routine prostate cancer screening. “This is what’s called a preference-sensitive decision,” said Ruth Etzioni, a biostatistician at Seattle’s Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center who crunched the numbers from two of the largest clinical trials on prostate cancer screening but was not directly involved in setting the new guidelines. “My typical prostate cancer consultation used to be 30 minutes,” said Dr. Inderbir S. Gill, chairman of USC’s Department of Urology.
