Free Prostate Screening Tracking 2006-2015
Observations
Overall screening continues to decline. We believe this is because of the ongoing controversy over the
benefit or lack of benefit of PSA screening. We continue to encourage "informed decision making" for those
men at risk, especially African American men. Although overall screening numbers are down, we are
pleased that over 56% of men screened through our outreach efforts in upstate South Carolina were
African Americans. But at the same time we are concerned because recent studies suggest that these
relaxed screening guidelines as a result of the 2011 USPSTF recommendations may delay diagnoses and
treatment of aggressive tumors that could possibly lead to advance disease and even death.

The Greenville Chapter of Us TOO and the Upstate Prostate Cancer Alliance along with our medical
partners are sensitive to the issues of over treatment therefore we focus our effort to provide education and
awareness to everyone. And free screening only for those individuals in high risk groups and those
individuals without the resources or access to be screened otherwise.
The Greenville Chapter of Us TOO and the Upstate Prostate Cancer Alliance recommends establishing a
screening base line at age 40 and having that conversation with your physician.
