Case description

Gerald L. Andriole, Jr., MD, a Robert K. Royce Distinguished Professor and Chief of Urologic Surgery at Barnes-Jewish Hospital, the Siteman Cancer Center, and Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis, Missouri, reviews guidelines for prostate cancer screening, including the unchanged 2018 AUA guidelines and the 2020 updates to the NCCN and EAU guidelines. Following this, he explains why he disagrees with a 2020 article that suggests physicians use a PSA level of 10 ng/mL as the threshold when referring prostate cancer patients to urology and thus biopsy. Lastly, he outlines five ways physicians can improve the early detection of uprostate cancer.
