Testing and diagnostic recommendations should reflect the potential benefit of identifying patients with aggressive prostate cancer (different grades and different pathology) even after age 75. Biopsies of the prostate should not be avoided in the elderly simply because of concerns about "overdiagnosis and overtreatment" of clinically insignificant disease. Prostate cancer detection should not be the issue. Prostate cancer treatment is.
