12 AUA For men ages 55 to 69 years the Panel recognizes that the decision to undergo PSA screening involves weighing the benefits of preventing prostate cancer mortality in 1 man for every 1,000 men screened over a decade against the known potential harms associated with screening and treatment. For this reason, the Panel strongly recommends shared decision-making for men age 55 to 69 years that are considering PSA screening, and proceeding based on a man's values and preferences.

26 On Beyond PSA Free PSA: Blood test, its level best defined for total PSA levels between 4 and 10, it gives percent likelihood of finding prostate cancer with biopsy. Prostate Health Index (PHI) (Beckman Coulter): Blood test, used for total PSA levels between 2 and 10, it measures 3 forms of PSA (total, free, and pro2psa), and it gives percent likelihood of finding prostate cancer with biopsy. PCA3 (Metamark and Hologic): Performed post-dre, measures total PSA, free PSA, intact PSA, and hk2 in urine, indicates the likelihood of finding prostate cancer with biopsy. 4Kscore (OPKO lab): Blood test of total PSA, free PSA, intact PSA, and hk2, predicts risk of high grade tumor on biopsy and 20 year risk of distant metastases. MiPS (University of Michigan Deparment of Pathology and Hologic): Performed post-dre, measures serum total PSA and urinet2:erg and PCA3, gives the probability of finding prostate cancer on biopsy and of finding histologically aggressive prostate cancer.

27 Conclusions PSA-based screening has resulted in an overdiagnosis and overtreatment of prostate cancer In its current form, screening affords a marginal short term benefit Long term benefits may be more pronounced The men who derive the greatest benefit from screening fall between 50 and 69 Newer tests improve diagnosis, but await long term CSS data
