Abstract
The US Preventive Services Task Force recently issued a draft guideline supporting individualized decision making for prostate cancer screening. Although the authors believe this guideline appropriately reflects changing evidence regarding the benefits and harms of screening, they raise concerns about achieving decision making, interpreting active surveillance data, and initiating screening for African American men.
