Implication

Population registry study reveals falling prostate carcinoma incidence in US men, suggesting a cull effect following widespread antigen-based screening.

Key Points

To determine whether prostate carcinoma incidence rates experienced a subsequent decline after an initial sharp increase driven by prostate-specific antigen screening.
Tracked age-adjusted prostate carcinoma incidence trends from the population-based Utah Cancer Registry.
Compared regional incidence trajectories with national trends reported by the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) program.
Observed a rapid, highly correlated surge in prostate carcinoma incidence in both SEER and Utah registries between 1988 and 1991, with national SEER rates rising from 84.4 per 100,000 in 1984 to 163.0 per 100,000 in 1991.
Identified a peak in Utah incidence at 236.2 per 100,000 in 1992, which subsequently decreased to 195.0 per 100,000 in 1993 and an estimated 164.0 per 100,000 in 1994.
