Prostate Cancer Screening: Benefits and Risks BY Dr. Mayur Dalvi Urologist
Early detection and treatment can lead to better outcomes: When prostate cancer is detected early there is a higher chance of successful treatment and better outcomes. Screening can identify cancer at an early stage when it is more treatable: Screening allows for early detection of prostate cancer when it is more localized and has not yet spread to other parts of the body. Improved survival rates: Studies have shown that screening for prostate cancer can lead to a reduction in prostate cancer-specific mortality. Benefits of Prostate Cancer Screening
Limitations of Prostate Cancer Screening • False positive results can lead to unnecessary biopsies and treatment: A false positive result means that a test shows a suspicious result for cancer when no cancer is present. False positives can lead to unnecessary biopsies and treatment which can have their own risks and complications. • Overdiagnosis can result in overtreatment: Overdiagnosis occurs when prostate cancer is detected and treated which would not have caused harm if left untreated. This can result in unnecessary and potentially harmful treatments. • Possible side effects of treatment such as incontinence and erectile dysfunction: Prostate cancer treatment can lead to side effects such as urinary incontinence and erectile dysfunction.
