How many PSA tests are ordered annually in the US to screen or monitor for
prostate cancer? (Please provide source)Appreciate multiple sources. Thanks.Hello Dliff,
Between 20 and 25 million PSA tests are conducted annually in the United States.
Sources of Information:
?Prostate cancer is responsible for greater than 240,000 new diagnoses
in North America each year. The current screening standard for
prostate cancer, PSA, is ineffective at reliably distinguishing
between non-life threatening prostate conditions and critical prostate
cancer. In spite of this fact, there are greater than 25 million PSA
tests performed annually in the United States alone, resulting in one
million prostate biopsy procedures.?
