The advent of prostate-specific antigen (PSA) testing in the early 1980s revolutionized the diagnosis of prostate cancer. As a result of PSA testing, there has been a surge in the number of prostate cancer diagnoses. This review examines the results of 2 recent landmark trials that studied the effect of screening on prostate cancer mortality: the European Randomized Study of Screening for Prostate Cancer (ERSPC) and the US-based Prostate, Lung, Colorectal, and Ovarian (PLCO) Cancer Screening Trial.
20世纪80年代初前列腺特异性抗原(PSA)检测的出现彻底改变了前列腺癌的诊断方式。由于PSA检测,前列腺癌的诊断数量激增。本综述考察了两项近期具有里程碑意义的试验结果,这两项试验研究了筛查对前列腺癌死亡率的影响:欧洲前列腺癌筛查随机研究(ERSPC)和美国的前列腺、肺、结肠和卵巢(PLCO)癌筛查试验。
