Editorial Comment
Despite the mortality benefit of PSA screening1 and the improved specificity of detecting clinically significant disease with advanced imaging2 prostate cancer screening remains controversial because of the over diagnosis of indolent disease and the treatment related impact on sexual and urinary function. The ultimate goal of any cancer screening DA is to promote preference congruent and well informed screening decisions.3 Weiner et al measured the impact of various DAs on prostate cancer screening preferences in nearly 1,330 participants using a randomized survey.

Editorial Comment
Decision aids should ideally promote clinical equipoise. However, the data from this study suggest some variation to which this is applied, given the differing results on how they altered the pre-exposure intent to undergo or recommend PSA screening. Although there was some change of opinion, a common theme is that the pre-exposure intent was unchanged in the majority of individuals who worked through any of these decision aids. The results are somewhat similar to our experience with testing a decision aid in a randomized controlled trial of a controversial aspect of prostate cancer care. (Source: The Journal of Urology)

Editorial Comment
Combined performance of prostate MRI and targeted biopsy has been documented to improve diagnosis and risk stratification over standard of care approaches in recent large-scale studies (reference 4 in article).1,2 While there is growing interest in implementing MRI and targeted biopsy into routine practice,3 it is known that such a successful practice model is associated with a learning curve (references 12 and 13 in article).
