Abstract

In a recently published study, the results of the Prostate Cancer Intervention versus Observation Trial (PIVOT) trial were compared with that of the Scandinavian Prostate Cancer Group Study Number 4 (SPCG-4). The authors concluded that the discrepancy of the mortality rates between both studies may be explained by screen-related lead time and over-diagnosis. In this comment, some potential biases are discussed and the limited applicability of the results of both randomized trials to healthy candidates for radical prostatectomy is underlined.
