Abstract

The authors are to be commended for their grass roots efforts to affect the practice patterns regarding prostate cancer in elderly men. In Iowa, as in the rest of the United States, the prostate cancer screening efforts used by primary care doctors and urologists are inconsistent and not well standardized in the elderly population. The authors previously attempted to inform physicians and patients in Iowa about the risks and benefits of screening for prostate cancer in elderly men using local media, continuing medical education, direct mail, and focus groups.
