Core Tip |
Mass prostate specific antigen-based prostate screening is used throughout the world as a means of reducing prostate cancer morbidity and mortality. However, a large proportion of men who underwent mass screening in our region were, in hindsight, not appropriate candidates for screening. Given the recent warnings of the United States Preventative Services Task Force and American Urological Association regarding the over-diagnosis of prostate cancer, it is incumbent on urologists, hospitals, and public health agencies to critically examine the role of screening practices, recognizing both the potential for community benefit and of harm from inappropriate screening.
