Estimating the sensitivity of a prostate cancer screening programme for different PSA cut-off levels: A UK case study

Conclusions The framework enabled the sensitivity of a prostate cancer screening round relative to histological cancer diagnosis to be estimated and provides a basis to determine the impact and cost-effectiveness of prostate cancer screening. The approach could be adapted to inform the sensitivity of other biomarkers, cancers and screening programmes.
