The perennially thorny topic of prostate cancer screening has been very well addressed in the brand new Australian guidelines for the Early Detection of Prostate Cancer which we are delighted to highlight today. Pragmatic, progressive and patient-focused, are some of the comments we have read - great to hear! We have been very gratified to see the very positive reception which these guidelines have received, not just here in Australia, but also by other expert and patient groups around the world.
Today, GU Cast co-Host Declan Murphy (also a member of the Guideline Expert Advisory Group), chat with co-Chair of the Guideline committee, Prof Peter Heathcote (Urologist, ex-president of USANZ), and Dr. Jane Crowe (GP, co-Chair of the PSA Working Group along with Declan). What are the key messages for men in different age groups? Which men are considered higher risk? What are the major changes from the old guideline? All this and more in this episode of GU Cast.
See below for links to all the key documents, and huge congratulations to Guideline co-Chair Jeff Dunn and all at the Prostate Cancer Foundation of Australia for enabling this, and everyone involved in the process. Too many to mention!
