About The Study: In this study of 45,800 U.S. veterans, prostate-specific antigen (PSA) screening was associated with reduced risk of prostate cancer–specific mortality (PCSM) among non-Hispanic Black men and non-Hispanic white men. Compared with less frequent screening, annual screening was associated with decreased risk of PCSM among Black men but not among white men, suggesting that annual screening may be particularly important for Black men.
