答案:E. 监测
患者为多种并发症的老年男性,预期寿命不超过10年。2012年,美国预防服务组(USPSTF)建议指出,筛查和治疗试验对超过70岁的男性人群而言意义不大。[11] 2014年,在美国国立综合癌症网络(NCCN)指南中提到,前列腺癌早期检查发现,75岁以上男性很少从PSA检测中受益,NCCN建议年龄超过70岁的男性人群,应谨慎选择筛查试验,仅仅建议这个年龄组中很少或无并发症的健康男性进行此类试验。[6] NCCN强调,临床医生应考虑对高风险癌症人群采取较高PSA临界值,如对超过70岁男性采用PSA临界值>4ng/mL,75岁PSA值为3ng/mL。[6]

该图显示了2014年NCCN指南中前列腺癌早期检测及活检的适应症。
