Prostate cancer screening in Switzerland: a literature review and consensus statement from the Swiss Society of Urology

“…Sweden has already taken a proactive stance in this regard. In 2018, the Confederation of Regional Cancer Centres in Sweden was tasked with assisting all regions in establishing organised prostate cancer testing programs [31]. This initiative was spurred by various factors, including prostate cancer being the leading cause of cancer death in Sweden, unlike the rest of Europe, where lung cancer holds that position, owing to Sweden's low smoking rate.…”
