Abstract
Prostate cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer in American men and the third leading cause of cancer-related deaths. However, the decision whether to pursue early detection of prostate cancer is complex; because not all men with prostate cancer will die of this disease, treatment is not necessary for some. These guidelines are intended to help men and clinicians choose a program for early detection of prostate cancer and make decisions about the need for prostate biopsy.
