Mortality results from the Göteborg randomised population-based prostate-cancer screening trial

TL;DR: It is shown that prostate cancer mortality was reduced almost by half over 14 years, however, the risk of over-diagnosis is substantial and the number needed to treat is at least as high as in breast-cancer screening programmes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Quality-of-life effects of prostate-specific antigen screening.

TL;DR: The benefit of PSA screening was diminished by loss of QALYs owing to postdiagnosis long-term effects, and longer follow-up data from both the ERSPC and quality-of-life analyses are essential before universal recommendations regarding screening can be made.
