Cancer, 10/13/09
Bergdahl AG et al. – Nonattendees in prostate cancer screening constitute a high-risk group for both death from prostate cancer and death from other causes comparable to that described in other cancer screening programs. Cancer 2009. © 2009 American Cancer Society.
Methods- 10,000 men randomly assigned to active PSA-screening every second year
- Prostate cancer mortality attributed to whether men were attendees in screening program (attending at least once) or nonattendees
- 39 men died from prostate cancer during the first 13 years
- Overall (34% vs 13 %) and cancer-specific mortality (0.8% vs 0.3 %) found to be significantly higher among nonattendees compared with attendees
- Majority of deaths (12 of 18) among screening attendees in men diagnosed at first screening
- 6 deaths (including 3 interval cases) noted among men complying with biennial screening program
