Background: In 2012, the USPSTF gave a “D” grade to PSA-based prostate cancer screening stating “the benefits of PSA-based screening for prostate cancer do not outweigh the harms”. The impact on prostate cancer screening, detection and presentation are unknown. Methods: A retrospective cohort design encompassing the years 2010 to 2015. In screen-eligible, KPNC members (African American men ages 45-69 and all other men ages 50-69), the annual rates of PSA testing, prostate biopsy and the grade and stage of all prostate cancers at presentation were compared between the pre-guideline period, 2010/2011; and the post-guideline period, 2014/2015. Results: The rate of screening declined substantially from the pre-guideline period to the post-guideline period, from a rate of 42.7% of eligible men screened per year during 2010/2011 to a rate of 32.5% of eligible men screened per year during 2014/2015; the relative rate and 95% confidence interval (CI) was 0.762 (0.759-0.765). Comparing the same time periods, the rates of prostate biopsy and overall prostate cancer detection declined even more sharply, with relative rates of 0.391 (95%CI 0.375-0.407) and 0.455 (95%CI 0.436-0.475) respectively. There was a modest increase in the rate of metastatic disease between these two time periods, with a relative rate of 1.29 (95%CI 1.11-1.48). Conclusions: Following the 2012 USPSTF statement, significant declines in PSA testing, prostate biopsy and overall cancer detection rates were seen along with a significant increase in the rate of patients presenting with metastatic disease.
