A decline in prostate cancer screening has been linked to subsequent increases in advanced cancers, according to data from the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, findings that may spur revisiting current U.S. testing guidelines.
Signage is seen outside of the United States Department of Veterans Affairs in Washington, D.C. -A decline in prostate cancer screening has been linked to subsequent increases in advanced cancers, according to data from the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs , findings that may spur revisiting current U.S. testing guidelines.
The benefits of screening for prostate cancer have been controversial. In 2012, the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force advised against it, maintaining that because the disease usually progresses very slowly, the risks of screening outweigh the potential benefit. There was concern that suspicion of prostate cancer based on a common blood test could lead to painful, potentially risky biopsies that may not have been necessary.
During that period, metastatic prostate cancer rates rose from 5.2 per 100,000 men to 7.9 per 100,000, with the rise driven by increases in the 55-69 and over-70 age groups, the researchers said.
