1. Based on ACS data, nearly 217,730 men will be diagnosed with CaP in 2010. Over 32,050 men will die of this disease in 2010. Over 2 million men are alive today in US with CaP. The 5-yr survival rate is now almost 100% & 10-yr rate 91%. The ACS attributes this to “modern detection & treatment” techniques while they have not supported early detection. Survival rates for A.A.’s are 10-15% lower than those of whites for the most common cancers (other than lung). The incidence of CaP among A.A. men is 73% higher than for white men. ACS.

3. Freedland S, Isaacs W. Prostate. 2005; 62(3):243-252. Higher incidence of prostate cancer, greater mortality compared with white men Access to care Attitudes about care Distrust of medical institutions Less likely to be screened Socioeconomic, educational differences Knowledge regarding prostate cancer dependent on education and income Men without health insurance more likely to be diagnosed with advanced stage disease Relationship between low income and advanced stage at diagnosis Differences in type and aggressiveness of treatment Less likely to be treated with aggressive therapy Genetic differences More potent androgen receptor for given androgen concentration Increased androgen receptor expression Slower testosterone deactivation Dietary differences?

4. African Americans with advanced prostate cancer exhibited:  Socioeconomic status  Under insured  Incidence early detection Biologic differences in disease behavior Earlier age onset Pathologic, genetic differences (i.e., tumor volume, androgen receptor pathway)  Modifiable factors affecting gene expression (diet, obesity) Hoffman R, et al. J Gen Intern Med. 2003;18:845-853.

5. Several studies have attempted to answer the big question. 1) The Quebec Trial (Labrie et al) – 46,486 men 2) The Tyrol Study (Tyrol, Austria) – 21,079 men 3) ERSPC (European Study of Screening for CaP) – 162,243 men 4) PLCO Cancer Screening Trial – 154,942 men

6. Quebec study criticism: Concerns over the study design & absence of men of African descent. Tyrol study criticism: Follow up period not long enough & absence of men of African descent. ERSPC study criticism: Follow up period inadequate to assess mortality impact & absence of data on men of African descent. PLCO study criticism: Follow up period not long enough & absence of data analysis in African American men.

7. Unscreened men had 41.6% death rate vs. 13.7% in the screened men. (Yields 3.85 odds ration advantage!) 6 deaths out of 7233 screened men vs. 69 deaths out of 14419 controls. (82% fewer deaths; even correcting for the 4 vs 7 yr f/u there were 69% fewer deaths!) Low stage Ca detection is enhanced. Stage migration is clear. Metastatic disease at Dx is reduced. Suggests survival benefits.

8. 5990 cancers found in screened men vs 4307 found in controls. Cumulative CaP incidence is 8.2% vs 4.8%. 71% more cancers found in screened men! 72% of screened men had < G6 vs 55% of controls. 45% of controls had > G7 vs 28% of screened men. Local disease favored in screened men. 20% reduction in cancer deaths in screened group vs the controls.

9. US Preventative Services Task Force. Ann Intern Med. 2008;149:185-191. Current evidence is insufficient to assess the balance of benefits and harms of prostate cancer screening in men younger than 75 years USPSTF recommends against screening for prostate cancer in men age 75 years or older A clinician should not order the PSA test without first discussing with the patient the potential but uncertain benefits and known harms of prostate cancer screening and treatment Men should be informed of the gaps in the evidence and should be assisted in considering their personal preferences before deciding whether to be tested

11. A thoughtful and broad approach to PSA is important The age for obtaining a baseline PSA has been lowered to 40 years There is no longer a single threshold PSA value that should prompt prostate biopsy Decision to biopsy should be based: Primarily on PSA and DRE results Also take into account Free and total PSA Patient age PSA velocity PSA density Recent studies suggest that prostate screening leads to overdetection and overtreatment of some patients Men should be informed of the risks and benefits of prostate cancer screening before biopsy Certain men newly diagnosed with prostate cancer should be informed of the option of active surveillance instead of immediate treatment Available at: http://www.auanet.org/content/guidelines-and-quality-care/clinical-guidelines/main-reports/psa09.pdf.

19. Men with a prostate-specific antigen (PSA) score of 3.0 or below who are screened regularly (or plan to get yearly PSA tests) and currently show no signs of prostate cancer are encouraged to talk with their doctor about the risks and benefits of taking a 5-alpha reductase inhibitor (5-ARI) to further prevent their likelihood of getting prostate cancer Men who are already taking a 5-ARI for other conditions should talk with their doctor about continuing to use this drug for the prevention of prostate cancer ASCO: American Society of Clinical Oncology Strength of evidence: The systematic review completed for this guideline identified 15 randomized clinical trials that met the inclusion criteria, nine of which reported prostate cancer period-prevalence.
