Recommendations on screening for prostate cancer with the prostate-specific antigen test
Cet article présente les recommandations d'un groupe d'experts canadiens en matière de dépistage du cancer de la prostate à l'aide du PSA
The recommendations apply to all men without a previous diagnosis of prostate cancer.
• For men aged less than 55 years, we recommend not screening for prostate cancer with the prostate-specific antigen (PSA) test. (Strong recommendation; low-quality evidence.)
• For men aged 55–69 years, we recommend not screening for prostate cancer with the PSA test. (Weak recommendation; moderate-quality evidence.)
• For men 70 years of age and older, we recommend not screening for prostate cancer with the PSA test. (Strong recommendation; low-quality evidence.)
