Risk Stratification: Prognosis Natural history proportion of men who could avoid therapy Small proportion benefit from treatment Men who die despite curative treatment Bill-Axelson et al. N Engl J Med 2005
Risk Stratification: Early Detection Proportion of men who do not benefit from screening and may be harmed Small proportion benefit from screening Men who die despite screening Schroder et al. N Engl J Med 2009

PSA for Early Detection of Prostate Cancer Diagnosis problem PSA < 4 ng/ml: poor sensitivity No normal PSA where cancer risk is zero No clear PSA threshold for biopsy biopsy everyone? Overdetection problem PSA threshold will biopsy rate by 2-3x Over diagnosis 50% for screening at 4-yr intervals ERSPC: Over treatment NNT 50:1 PLCO: No evidence of reduction in PCSM with screening
