A 51 year old man is trying to decide whether to have a screening PSA done. How would you advise him on the pros and cons?

Shared Decision Making • Shared decision making is the collaboration between patients and caregivers to come to an agreement about a healthcare decision. It is especially useful when there is no clear "best" treatment option.
Shared Decision Making • The caregiver offers the patient information that will help him or her: • Understand the likely outcomes of various options • Think about what is personally important about the risks and benefits of each option • Participate in decisions about medical care
Preference Sensitive Care • Preference sensitive care refers to those conditions in which there are tradeoffs between benefits and risks for the patient, or the benefit/risk information is incomplete. • Patients and families, with good information, are more able to make good decisions in these situations than clinicians.
