Question 37

Which of the following is the current recommendation for screening of prostate cancer? A.All men age 55 to 69 years should engage in shared decision-making regarding screening. B.All men 50 years or older should be screened with a prostate-specific antigen (PSA) test and digital rectal examination. C.All men age 55 to 69 years should undergo a digital rectal examination. D.All men older than 70 years should be screened due to increased risk of advanced disease.

Answer 37

Answer: A. All men age 55 to 69 years should engage in shared decision-making regarding screening. In 2018, the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) made the following recommendations: Men who are 55 to 69 years old should engage in shared decision-making about whether they choose to be screened. A deciding factor involves individual patient preferences and health history; the potential benefits must be balanced against the potential harms, including the risks of false-positive tests, prostate biopsy, anxiety, over-diagnosis, and treatment complications. Screening involves a PSA blood test. A digital rectal examination is not recommended as a screening test due to its low sensitivity and specificity for detecting prostate cancer. The USPSTF does not recommend PSA-based screening for prostate cancer in men 70 years and older.
