Comparison between programs of aggressive, and less aggressive, prostate cancer screening and treatment in two American states shows that more intensive screening and treatment with radical prostatectomy and external beam radiotherapy is not associated with lower prostate cancer specific mortality at 11 year follow-up.
Clinicians looked at differences between a cohort of 94, 900 men between the ages of 65 to 79 living in the Seattle, Washington, area, and a similar cohort of 120,621 men living in Connecticut.
“The lack of association between more intensive screening and treatment and lower prostate cancer mortality suggests that trials should continue in order to settle this question,” declares lead authors Dr. Grace LuYao, Department of Surgery, University of Connecticut Health Center Farmington, and Dr. Peter Albertsen, Department of Prostate Cancer Research, Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center, Seattle.
