PSA Guidelines: A summary of the PSA Guidelines for the Prostate Cancer Support Group Network.

PSA Guidelines: A summary of the PSA Guidelines for the Prostate Cancer Support Group Network.

PCFA developed the guidelines in order to resolve the controversy surrounding PSA testing for both men and their doctors. The guidelines do not recommend a population screening program for prostate cancer as the evidence does not support such a program. For men who decide to be tested, it contains guidance on matters such as what age to start testing; how frequently to be tested; when to stop testing; the PSA level which should prompt further investigation; family history; and the role of the digital rectal exam.

A copy of the PSA Guidelines endorsed by the NHMRC can be found on the PCFA website:
