Citation CADTH. Prostate cancer screening: a review of the guidelines. Ottawa: Canadian Agency for Drugs and Technologies in Health (CADTH). Rapid Response - Summary with Critical Appraisal. 2013 Authors' conclusions Ten North American guidelines on prostate cancer screening were included in the review. The ten guidelines agreed on recommending prostate cancer screening for men but the age at which screening was recommended differed between guidelines. Six guidelines gave positive recommendations for using PSA-based screening, while one guideline recommended against this practice. This disagreement was due to difference in the included primary evidence and the outcomes evaluated in each guideline.
