Excerpt

Throughout medicine, there is a recurrent paradigm of development of noninvasive/less invasive testing used to identify patients who may then be able to forgo relatively more invasive diagnostic testing and treatment. In the realm of cardiology, reconstructed advanced imaging has been extensively investigated as a substitute for cardiac catheterization [1]. In the realm of urology, we have long pursued use of PSA testing to identify men at risk for the prostate cancer and have used this to aid in the selection of patients to undergo prostate biopsy. More recently, further refinements in overall care to those patients diagnosed with prostate cancer, in response to potentially excessive diagnosis and treatment related morbidity, have been introduced with the development of active surveillance protocols to aid in the identification of patients with prostate cancer that may potentially be spared treatment-associated morbidity [2]. …
