screening may be particularly important for Black men, new data suggest.
Annual screening may well have"a greater potential to benefit" Black men, he said."While we would ideally see randomized data supporting this, those data are unlikely to ever be forthcoming. Thus, this study provides a strong rationale to support the recommendations from many guideline panels that Black men, in the context of shared-decision making, may benefit more from PSA based prostate cancer screening than the population at large," he added.
For their study, the team reviewed Veterans Health Administration data to assess PSA screening patterns ― which they categorized as no screening, less than annual screening, or annual screening ― in the 5 years leading up to diagnosis.Overall, the reduction in risk of prostate cancer–specific mortality associated with screening was similar among Black men and White men .
The cumulative incidence of PCSM among Black men was 4.7% with annual screening but 7.3% with only some screening.
