Men's experiences of the Swedish Organised Prostate Cancer Testing programme: a qualitative study
This study shows that the OPT programme was well received by participating men; however, they requested more personalised information and support throughout the process. These needs increased further along the diagnostic pathway as the examinations became more invasive and the risk of detecting prostate cancer increased. Patient perspectives need to be considered to improve this programme and similar programmes in the future.
