Abstract
Prostate cancer remains a common cancer diagnosis
and cause of cancer-related death in men. Despite it’s
high prevalence, screening for prostate cancer for early
detection remains controversial. This article outlines
evidence from contemporary prostate cancer screening
clinical trials and presents an overview of therapeutic
options across the spectrum of prostate-cancer states.
