Only two RCTs included.. high risk of bias in both trials, therefore insufficient evidence to either support or refute the routine use of screening for reducing prostate cancer mortality.
Currently, no robust evidence from RCTs available regarding the impact of screening on quality of life, harms of screening, or its economic value.
Results from two ongoing RCTs that will be available in several years are required to make evidence-based decisions regarding prostate cancer screening.

PSA screening reduces the risk of dying from prostate cancer by up to 31% in men actually screened. This benefit should be weighed against a degree of overdiagnosis and overtreatment inherent in prostate cancer screening.

Based on a report from the Norwegian Centre for Health Technolgy Assessment (SMM), leaflets were distributed to GPs/urologists in March 2001:
PSA should not be taken in asymptomatic men
If the test is wanted, the physician is obliged to give information about the possible consequences

Treatment in the Nordic countries
Treatment with a curative intent (and hormonal treatment) was used most extensively in Finland and Norway Jonsson et al. Int J Technol Assess Health Care 1995
Denmark has put the emphasis on initiating treatment only at a late stage, and radical prostatectomy was introduced around 1995Borre M et al. Cancer 1997, Brasso K et al, Ugeskr Laeger 1998
However, before the mid-1990s radical treatment was infrequently used in all Nordic countries
Mortality Artefact (e.g. attribution of cause of death) Earlier diagnosis (better awareness) Screening Treatment Changes in risk factors
Prostate cancer: what is going on?
U.S. mortality trends 1980-2000: by 2000, models projected 45%-70% attributable to stage shift induced by PSA screening .

Treatment (Wilt, JNCI, 2008) PIVOT (U.S., radical prostatectomy vs. watchful waiting,
includes 3/4 PSA-detected) ProtecT (U.K., radiotherapy vs. radical prostatectomy
vs. active surveillance, clinically-localised cancers) START (Canada, early interventions vs. active
surveillance)
Ongoing preventative trials (Thompson et al, J Urol 2009)
Chemoprevention with Dutasteride (REDUCE)
Ongoing research
National Prostate Cancer Programme (NPPC)
Clinical Registry established. Collects infromaiton nationally on
prostate cancer incidence, diagnostics, treatment
Aims: provide an empirical base for
scientific studies concerning prognostic factors and treatment outcomes
evaluation of quality of cancer care.
