Four-year prostate cancer screening interval is effective
PRACTICE RECOMMENDATIONS

This study found a relatively low rate of prostate cancer diagnoses during a 4-year interval between screenings in Danish men aged 55 to 74 years. For those men choosing to undergo prostate cancer screening, these results show that annual screening is not necessary. Whether screening reduces prostate cancer-specific mortality is yet to be determined.
