Summary
This guideline recommends prostate-specific antigen (PSA) screening for prostate cancer, emphasizing shared decision-making. Tailored screening intervals and risk calculators are encouraged for early detection.
Area of Science:
- Urology
- Oncology
- Preventive Medicine
Background:
- Prostate cancer remains a significant health concern globally.
- Effective early detection strategies are crucial for improving patient outcomes.
- Clinical decision-making frameworks are needed for prostate cancer screening implementation.
Purpose of the Study:
- To provide evidence- and consensus-based recommendations for early prostate cancer detection.
- To establish a framework for clinical decision-making regarding prostate cancer screening.
- To guide the implementation of prostate cancer screening, biopsy, and follow-up procedures.
Main Methods:
- Systematic review of medical literature.
- Searches conducted in Ovid MEDLINE, Embase, and Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews (2000-2022).
- Supplementation with reference list reviews of relevant articles.
Main Results:
- The Early Detection of Prostate Cancer Panel developed guideline statements.
- Guidance is provided for prostate cancer screening, initial and repeat biopsies, and biopsy techniques.
- Part I focuses on prostate cancer screening; Part II addresses biopsy details.
Conclusions:
- Prostate-specific antigen (PSA)-based screening with shared decision-making (SDM) is recommended.
- Population-based cohort data support longer screening intervals and tailored screening approaches.
- Online risk calculators are encouraged to aid in personalized prostate cancer screening.

Men's health issues are increasingly recognized as significant, with several conditions posing common threats. Among these, testicular cancer is especially prevalent in younger men, particularly those aged 20 to 35 years. The disease often manifests as a painless mass in the testicles, sometimes accompanied by a sensation of heaviness or a dull ache.
