Impact of improvement in specificity of primary screening test on total cost of prostate cancer mass screening

Objectives:  Improvement in the specificity of primary screening tests, without significant cost elevation of the assay, provides cost savings in prostate cancer screening programs by reducing unnecessary secondary screening procedures. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the economic impact of improvement in the specificity of primary screening tests and to estimate the socially acceptable cost elevation for improved specificity.
