NCT ID NCT07206693

First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated Jun 09, 2026 · Updated 36 times

Summary

This study analyzed data from over 257,000 Swedish men aged 75-79 to see if PSA-based screening improves survival. Since no clinical trials have focused on this age group, researchers used past medical records to compare men who were screened with those who were not. The goal is to help doctors and patients make better decisions about prostate cancer testing in older men.
