To the Editor: The US Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) recently drafted a grade D recommendation against prostate-specific antigen (PSA)–based screening for prostate cancer.1 If this recommendation becomes final, how it will affect clinical practice remains unclear. In 2008, the USPSTF issued a grade D recommendation against PSA-based screening in men aged 75 years or older.2 We evaluated changes in national screening rates before and after this recommendation.
