New directives from the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force, indicate that doctors should stop routine prostate cancer screening of men over age 75 because there is more evidence of harm than benefit. The task force said: “The benefits of treatment based on routine screening of this age group are small to none. However, treatment often causes moderate-to-substantial harms, including erectile dysfunction and bladder control and bowel problems.”
