Abstract: The prostate‐specific antigen practices reported by Hutchinson et al in this issue of Cancer may reflect an isolated persistence of prostate‐specific antigen ordering behaviors in a local health system due to other broader reports. However, it also raises an important issue: what is the appropriate level of screening and referral? Could continued but more thoughtful prostate‐specific antigen screening and urology referral lead to better health outcomes among men with prostate cancer? See also pages 3785‐93.
