Benign prostatic hyperplasia effects about 50% of men between the ages of 51 and 60 and up to 90% of men older than 80. It is considered to be a disease of aging because symptoms typically began around age 50-60. Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is a benign enlargement of the prostate gland that can result in bladder outlet obstruction and voiding difficulty. As the prostate and largest, the gland presses against and pinches the urethra and may grow up into the bladder. This can result in the bladder's inability to completely empty. Which of the following is considered to be the “gold standard” treatment for BPH?
Watchful waiting is most recommended until urinary retention is noted
5 alpha reductase inhibitors have shown benefit in the treatment of BPH
Alpha adrenergic blocking agents should be initiated for primary therapy

Prostate cancer screening received a “D” recommendation from United States Preventive Services Taskforce (USPSTF) in 2012, discouraging prostate cancer screening because the potential harms
outweighed the benefits. However, in 2018, USPSTF changed its recommendation from grade “D” to grade “C,” suggesting that prostate cancer screening is appropriate for men between the ages of 55 and 69 as a shared decision between the patient and health care provider. The change in recommendation from grade “D” to grade “C” was driven by which of the following?
Common utilization of robotic assisted laparoscopic radical prostatectomy over the last decade, which has resulted in reduced rates of urinary incontinence and erectile dysfunction as compared to open radical prostatectomy.
Utilization of active surveillance for appropriately selected patients, thus minimizing the treatment related side effects.
Utilization of genetic biomarkers that identify clinically significant prostate cancer.
Demand by prostate cancer health care providers who disagree with USPSTF’s recommendation.
