| Scientific title | The Göteborg prostate cancer screening trial: a population-based randomised controlled trial of a screening group invited for biennial prostate specific antigen (PSA) testing versus a control group not invited |
| Study hypothesis | Prostate specific antigen (PSA) screening decreases prostate cancer mortality by 40% after 15 years. |
| Ethics approval(s) | Ethical Review Committee at the University of Göteborg approved in 1994 |
| Condition | Prostate cancer |
| Intervention | Men allocated to the screening arm are invited every second year for PSA testing, until they reach the upper age limit (70 years). Only men with PSA at or above the threshold (greater than or equal to 3 ng/mL) are invited for further urological work-up including digital rectal examination (DRE), transrectal ultrasound (TRUS) examination, and laterally directed sextant biopsies. Men allocated to the control group will not be part of any planned intervention; the incidence of prostate cancer, stage, grade and primary treatment as well as cause of death will be registered in the control group. Last invitaion to the study will be in 2014 but follow-up will continue for many more years. Last follow-up is not stated in the protocol as things may change during a 20-year study. |
| Intervention type | Other |
| Primary outcome measure | Prostate cancer specific mortality (absolute and relative risk reduction in cumulative prostate cancer mortality) analysed according to the intention-to-screen principle (comparing the screening group with the control group). Analysed at study completion (after 15 years). |
| Secondary outcome measures | 1. Cumulative prostate cancer incidence and the proportion of screening attendees 2. Comparisons of stage and age distribution 3. Lead and length time bias 4. Quality of life between screened men and controls Analysed at study completion. |
