Abstract:
Prostate cancer screening remains controversial as the reduction in mortality is outweighed by overdiagnosis and overtreatment. Prostate specific antigen (PSA) testing remains a recurring issue for primary care physicians. Although the last guidelines recommend against the screening, everyone agreed on the importance of the shared decision-making process to inform the patient about the potential benefits and harms of screening. Existing decision support tools can help in this complex discussion. This clinical case report depicts the infectious risks of prostate biopsy that are often underestimated.
