Abstract
Background : Prostate cancer is the commonest cancer among men in Nigeria and early detection is key to cure and survival but its screening through prostate specific antigen (PSA) has remain controversial in literature. Screening with prostate specific antigen (PSA) has led to more men diagnosed with prostate cancer than in previous years with potential for negative effects from overdiagnosis and overtreatment. Method : This is a review article on the controversies and recommendations regarding prostate cancer screening following detailed search of literature and online databases such as Pubmed and Google using PSA, DRE, prostate cancer, screening as key words. Conclusion : Prostate cancer screening is fraught with a lot of controversies therefore it should be individualised through discussion between the physician and informed client using appropriate guidelines and recommendations. Key Words : Screening, prostate, cancer, PSA, DRE
背景:前列腺癌是尼日利亚男性中最常见的癌症，早期发现是治愈和生存的关键，但通过前列腺特异性抗原(PSA)进行筛查在文献中仍然存在争议。与前几年相比，前列腺特异性抗原(PSA)筛查导致更多男性被诊断为前列腺癌，这可能导致过度诊断和过度治疗的负面影响。方法:本文以PSA、DRE、前列腺癌、筛查为关键词，通过对文献和Pubmed、Google等在线数据库的详细检索，对前列腺癌筛查的争议和建议进行综述。结论:前列腺癌筛查充满了很多争议，因此应该通过医生和知情的客户之间的讨论，使用适当的指导方针和建议来个性化。关键词:筛查，前列腺，癌症，PSA, DRE
