Draft prostate cancer guidelines shift to less invasive testing

The proposals are from the Prostate Cancer Foundation of Australia.

Draft prostate cancer screening guidelines aim to shift away from discretionary testing by individual doctors and towards a more organised approach, with earlier testing using less invasive methods.

The Prostate Cancer Foundation of Australia proposals include key changes relating to earlier testing, the inclusion of additional risk factors, absolute PSA thresholds and use of MRI before biopsy in those with elevated PSA levels (see summary at the end).
