Shared Decision Making Emphasized for Prostate Screening

No authors listed. Cancer Discov. 2018 Jul.

Abstract

The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) now recommends that men ages 55 to 69 individually decide, in consultation with their physician, whether to undergo PSA screening for prostate cancer. The guidelines represent a change from 2012, when the USPSTF recommended against screening for all men.
