Incidence of Metastatic Prostate Cancer in Older Men Increases Following Drop in PSA Screening

The incidence of metastatic prostate cancer in older men is rising after reaching an all-time low in 2011, according to new research from Weill Cornell Medicine and NewYork-Presbyterian investigators. The findings suggest a correlation between the increase and a change in prostate cancer screening guidelines recommending against routine prostate-specific antigen (PSA) testing.

Incidence of metastatic prostate cancer has increased among older men as PSA screening declines (With Dr. Jim C. Hu)

The incidence of metastatic prostate cancer appears to be rising in men aged 75 years or older, according to results of a SEER analysis published in JAMA Oncology.

This increase may be linked to the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) 2008 recommendation against routine PSA screenings in men aged 75 years or older and the 2012 recommendation against routine PSA screening regardless of age.
