American Cancer Society revises prostate cancer screening guidelines
The American Cancer Society announced that it has updated its prostate-cancer screening recommendations, advising men at average risk to begin PSA testing at age 50 and repeat it every two years, while recommending earlier and annual testing for Black men and those with a strong family history. Earlier reports from CNN noted that the revision sets biennial testing for average-risk men aged 50-69 and calls for annual testing from age 45 for higher-risk groups. Targeted Onc added that the new guideline includes pathways intended to limit unnecessary biopsies.
