JAMA - "Prostate Cancer Incidence and PSA Testing Patterns in Relation to USPSTF Screening Recommendations"

"Prostate Cancer Incidence and PSA Testing Patterns in Relation to USPSTF Screening Recommendations"

"Conclusions and Relevance  Both the incidence of early-stage prostate cancer and rates of PSA screening have declined and coincide with 2012 USPSTF recommendation to omit PSA screening from routine primary care for men. Longer follow-up is needed to see whether these decreases are associated with trends in mortality."
