The Need for Collaboration(Prostate Cancer Screening)ACPM concludes that there is insufficient evidence to recommend routine population screening with digital rectal exam or prostate specific antigen.
ACS recommends that prostate cancer screening should not occur without an informed decision-making process. Men at average risk should receive this information beginning at age 50 years. Men in higher risk groups should receive this information before age 50 years.ACPM American College of Preventive Medicine
ACS American Cancer Society Slide4
The Need for Collaboration(Prostate Cancer Screening)AUA recommends that early detection and risk assessment of prostate cancer should be offered to asymptomatic men 40 years of age or older who wish to be screened and have an estimated life expectancy of more than 10 years.
USPSTF recommends against PSA-based screening for prostate cancer. AUA American Urological AssociationUSPSTF United States Preventive Services Task ForceSlide5
The Need for Collaboration(Prostate Cancer Screening)EAU recommends the decision to undergo early PSA testing should be a shared decision between the patient and his physician based on information balancing its advantages and disadvantages.

Establish the Ground Rules for CollaborationEvidence and outcomesKQ & clinical outcomes
What kind of evidence base will be used?How will recommendations be developed?What grading system will be used?What decision making process will be used?How will you deal with disagreement on evidence or recommendations?What processes need to be followed for each society to approve the guideline?Slide11
Benefits of CollaborationReduce the number of guidelines and potentially differing recommendations on the same topic (harmonization)Conserve resources
Incorporate more stakeholders in the development process, which results in a better and more widely accepted guidelineReach a larger, more diverse audienceSlide12
Barriers & HurdlesLonger time to complete the guidelineCompromise on methods/outcomesChallenge to arrive at consensus for difficult topicsSlide13
