In recent years, the prostate cancer diagnosis rate has increased dramatically, with a slower increase in age-specific mortality. At least in part, the increasing incidence undoubtedly reflects more aggressive efforts at early detection of prostate cancer, particularly through the use of a new blood test, prostate-specific antigen (PSA). This background paper examines the implications of a potential Medicare benefit to cover prostate cancer screening using a combination of the PSA and digital rectal examination (DRE), a time-honored test performed in the physician's office. OTA concludes that the evidence of benefit for prostate cancer screening is substantially weaker than for preventive services already covered by Medicare. Because the scientific knowledge is limited, but the consequences of prostate cancer and its treatment are serious, an informed patient and his physician could equally well decide to receive screening or forgo it. Medicare reimbursement could be one means of insuring that out-of-pocket expenses not impede well-informed decision-making between physician and patient about whether to receive screening.
