The 5‐year outcomes of a regional population‐based <scp>PSA</scp> information and testing programme

Organising a population-based mailed PSA information programme combined with accessible testing in primary care is feasible on a regional scale in a Scandinavian healthcare setting and may reach high attendance. An observed increase in low-risk tumours inspires caution against programme implementation and highlights the importance of well-designed screening strategies and diagnostic algorithms to avoid over-detection.

Abstract

Organising a population-based mailed PSA information programme combined with accessible testing in primary care is feasible on a regional scale in a Scandinavian healthcare setting and may reach high attendance. An observed increase in low-risk tumours inspires caution against programme implementation and highlights the importance of well-designed screening strategies and diagnostic algorithms to avoid over-detection.
