PSA Velocity and Life-Threatening Prostate Cancer
Prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels are currently used to screen men for prostate cancer, but a substantial number of men are overdiagnosedthey are treated for cancers that would not have become life-threatening. To determine whether the rate at which PSA levels change over time, or PSA velocity, is useful for screening men for life-threatening prostate cancer, Carter et al. (p. 1521) calculated the PSA velocities of 980 men enrolled in the Baltimore Longitudinal Study of Aging. The authors found that men with a high PSA velocity 1015 years before their prostate cancer diagnosis had a greater
