The Problem Is Not What to Do with Indolent and Harmless Prostate Cancer-The Problem Is How to Avoid Finding These Cancers

Giorgio Gandaglia et al. Eur Urol. 2016 Oct.

Abstract

One of the most effective ways to reduce overtreatment of prostate cancer is to limit its detection in men with low-risk disease. Although many data are currently missing, we foresee a future with reduced prostate-specific antigen (PSA) testing in men selected through baseline PSA values or genetic predisposition. Then selective biopsy using multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging and longitudinal biomarkers will play a role.
