In an ASCO report commenting on the USPSTF D rating for PSA testing the report states:
In 2012, PSA screening for prostate cancer (CaP) detection was given a
“Grade D” recommendation for all men by the USPSTF. Recent U.S. studies
report declines in PSA screening with concomitant increases in advanced
CaP at diagnosis. This study examined the association between PSA
screening history and CaP aggressiveness in a racially diverse, military
cohort with equal health care access.... In this RP cohort, higher risk stratum, increased GU, and poorer
BCR-free survival were associated with no PSA screening history.
BCR-free survival was incrementally worsened by less PSA screening. A
complete absence of PSA screening may lead to more aggressive disease at
presentation and poorer clinical outcomes.
This was a Government conducted study, by people apparently competent in the field. This is just another study confirming the deadly results of following USPSTF.
