Abstract
Screening for prostate cancer using prostate‐specific antigen (PSA) tests has led to a stage and grade shift as compared to the pre‐PSA era. Effectiveness of screening for prostate cancer should be manifested by a reduction in detection rate of aggressive cancers during subsequent screening. In 6 centers of the European Randomized Screening study for Prostate Cancer, a total of 58,710 men were tested for prostate cancer. Screening centers differed with regard to age‐range, screening interval and biopsy indications. During the 2nd visit, the proportion of Gleason score 6 cancers increased from 62.5 to 75%, mainly at the expense of Gleason score 7 cancers. High‐grade (Gleason score 8–10) cancer detection rates varied per screening center during the 1st visit from 5.1 to 41.1, and during the 2nd visit from 6.4 to 29.3/10,000 men. The overall detection rate of high‐grade cancers showed a reduction during the 2nd visit from 26 to 12/10,000 men, an effect mainly attributable to the screening center with the highest cancer detection rate (i.e. 507/10,000 men). Variations in detection rates among screening centers related among others to biopsy compliance and age range. © 2005 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.

## Abstract This study reports the outcome of active surveillance in men with PSA screening‐detected prostate cancer (PC), and PSA doubling time (PSADT) was evaluated as a predictor of selecting patients to active treatment or surveillance. On December 31, 1994, 10,000 men were randomized to bienni
A randomized screening trial was started in Europe to show the effect of early detection and treatment of prostate cancer on mortality (European Study on Screening of Prostate Cancer). In one centre (Rotterdam), the screening protocol initially consisted of 3 screening tests for all men: prostate-sp
In the European Randomized Study of Screening for Prostate Cancer (ER-SPC, Rotterdam region), men aged 55-74 years are screened for prostate cancer by prostatespecific antigen (PSA) sampling, digital rectal examination (DRE), and transrectal ultrasound investigation (TRUS).

## Abstract ## BACKGROUND: Risk models to predict prostate cancer on biopsy, whether they include only prostate‐specific antigen (PSA) or other markers, are intended for use in all men of screening age. However, the association between PSA and cancer probably depends on a man's recent screening hi
