Trends in Cancer Incidence and Death Rates Among Males
Prostate Cancer • Most common cancer in American Men
• 241,740 new cases in 2012 (up from 186,320 in 2008)• 29% of all new male cancer cases• 1 in 6 lifetime probability of being diagnosed (16.5%)
• Second most common cause of Male Cancer Death• 28,170 overall deaths • 9% of all male cancer deaths• 5-year survival is >90% (68% in 1977; 83% in 1989)• Mortality declined 3% per year in Caucasians and 3.5% per year for African
American men between 2004 and 2008• PSA Testing and Improved Treatments
Cancer Facts and Figures, 2012.
Why is PSA Screening Controversial?Pros Cons
PSA screening may help you detect prostate cancer early. Some prostate cancers are slow growing and never spread beyond the prostate gland.
Cancer is easier to treat and is more likely to be cured if it's diagnosed in the early stages of the disease.
Not all prostate cancers need treatment. Treatment for prostate cancer may have risks and side effects, including urinary incontinence, erectile dysfunction or bowel dysfunction.
PSA testing can be done with a simple, widely available blood test.
PSA tests aren't foolproof. It's possible for your PSA levels to be elevated when cancer isn't present, and to not be elevated when cancer is present.
For some men, knowing is better than not knowing. Having the test can provide you with a certain amount of reassurance —either that you probably don't have prostate cancer or that you do have it and can now have it treated.
A diagnosis of prostate cancer can provoke anxiety and confusion. Concern that the cancer may not be life-threatening can make decision-making complicated.
The number of deaths from prostate cancer has gone down since PSA testing became available.
PSA testing has lowered deaths, but the number may not be substantial enough to justify the cost and possibility of harm to the person undergoing the testing.
PSA Screening2009: 2 large screening studies were published
• European study: PSA test reduced prostate cancer deaths• American study: PSA test did not reduce prostate cancer deaths
2012: US Preventative Task Force recommended against routine PSA screening for all men
2017: Publication of combined analysis of European + American study (238,000 men) with more results
• PSA test reduced prostate cancer deaths
2018: Publication of British study (400,000 men) • Getting a single PSA test did not reduce prostate cancer deaths
PSA Screening
2018: US Preventative Task Force recommends PSA screening• “For men aged 55 to 69 years, the decision to undergo periodic PSA-based
screening for prostate cancer should be an individual one and should include discussion of the potential benefits and harms of screening with their clinician.”
“Shared Decision Making”
American Urological Association (AUA) Guidelines
• Against PSA screening in men under age 40 years
• Does not recommend routine screening in men between age 40 to 54 years at average risk
• Age 55 to 69 years: Recommends shared decision-making based on man’s values and preferences
• Routine screening interval of 2 years may be preferred over annual
• Does not recommend routine PSA screening in men >70 years or with <10-15 year life expectancy

Screening and Treatment
• Screening increases detection of low-risk cancers
• Not all patients derive benefit from treatment• Surgery and Radiation
• Definition of benefit?• Overall Survival
• Cancer Specific Survival
• Progression and Symptoms
• Quality of Life
In the era of PSA-based screening, the percentage of prostate cancers
over-diagnosed is estimated to be as high as 23% to 67%1,2

Some clinically significant cancers are missed
because of sampling error of the biopsy, and
many men are diagnosed with clinically
insignificant disease.

Advances in prostate imaging to better select patients
• Multiparametric MRI of prostate
Overall PPV: 98%
Sensitivity:
Gleason ≥7 (0.69-0.80)
<7 (0.27-0.47)
Volume >5mm (0.53-0.68)
≤5mm (0.13-0.37)
MR-targeted prostate biopsies improve detection of
clinically significant cancer compared to standard biopsy

ADC sequences
Observational studies with long-term outcomes for active surveillance in prostate cancer patients
• What is active surveillance?• Everyone is aware that patient has a diagnosis of prostate cancer
• Close monitoring to defer treatment until indications are more concrete
• NOT watchful waiting
• Want to intervene within the window of cure
• Requires a complex conversation and understanding by patient/family members and his primary care physician
• 15 year cancer specific
survival
• Safe for men with low risk
prostate cancer
• 2.8% developed metastatic
disease
• 1.5% died of prostate cancer[Klotz, 2015]
• Patients Remaining
Untreated
• 5 years: 76%
• 10 years: 64%
• 15 years: 55%
[Klotz, 2015]
Although significant variation exists in identifying patients
eligible for active surveillance, detecting disease
progression is equally challenging
• Digital rectal exam
• Is this necessary?
• Serial prostate biopsy
• Risks involved
• Serum PSA changes
• How do we account for BPH changes
that occur with age?
• Adverse findings on MRI
• Sensitivity?
Tools to detect prostate cancer disease progression:
Why should we engage patients to consider Active Surveillance?
Very Low Risk
High Risk
Low-Intermediate Risk
[Hoffman, 2014]
The majority of men diagnosed with prostate cancer in the PSA-screening era are eligible for active surveillance
• 80% of physicians believe active surveillance is
underutilized
• 71% of physicians report their patients are not
interested in active surveillance
Barriers to widespread acceptance of active surveillance for
prostate cancer treatment
[Kim, 2014]
Education.
Lack of
knowledge
about AS
Attitudes and
beliefs.
AS is for older
men who are
not surgical
candidates
Fear.
Cancer will
spread
without
detection
Influence.
Partner/spouse
and family
member
preferences
Conceptual Framework of Barriers to Active Surveillance
Seek treatment.
Early aggressive treatment improves survival
Solutions?
Communication and Education
• Better selection for PSA Screening
• Multi-Disciplinary clinics to increase AS and its
adherence
• Genomic testing
• Gleason Nomenclature
Focus on interests as opposed to positions
