| Abstract: | A recent study reports widespread decreases in PSA screening, prostate cancer diagnoses, and use of active treatment modalities since the 2011–2012 United States Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) recommendation against PSA screening. The updated 2017 USPSTF guideline, which embraces individualized decision-making, suggests the pendulum swung too far, but must not prompt a return to indiscriminate screening. © 2018, Springer Nature Limited. |
