Abstract:
To achieve the goal of early detection, diagnosis and treatment of prostate cancer in China, mass screening for prostate cancer using serum prostate specific antigen (PSA) has been performed in men over 50 years. We compared this result with the clinical cases. It proved that only through the mass screening can we really find the early stage prostate cancer and be given the chance of curing the cancer. We also investigated the current treatment situation and problems and figured out the further direction on the prostate cancer research.
