The US Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) analyzed the benefits and harms of prostate specific antigen (PSA)-based screening for prostate cancer (PCa).The Grade ‘D\' recommendation of the USPSTF was based mainly on the Prostate,Lung,Colorectal,and Ovarian (PLCO)study in the United States.That result showed only a small reduction in PCa mortality.However,the data from the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) illustrated the PCa mortality rate (MR) decreased marked.To avoid the over-diagnosis and over-treatment,the American Cancer Society has changed its strategy and updated its guidance.The USPSTF neglected the aggressive PCa accounted for more then 30% of all PCa.Highly aggressive PCa can be diagnosed by PSA screening combined with Gleason grade.We hope that the USPSTF changes the ‘D\' recommendation for PSA screening.
