This activity will be a dinner series geared towards primary care providers to provide a comprehensive update on the topic of prostate cancer screening. Attendees will earn CME credit following a dinner-time talk given by Dr. Michael Gorin, Assistant Professor of Urology at Johns Hopkins. The talk will include a review of current prostate cancer screening guidelines from the United States Preventative Services Task Force (USPSTF), American Urological Association, and American Cancer Society. Particular attention will be paid to developments in the literature over the last five years that led to the change from the USPSTF's 2012 recommendation against prostate cancer screening to its 2018 recommendation to offer screening following an informed discussion with men on the harms and benefits of this practice. Additionally we will review data on emerging novel biomarkers and biopsy techniques which aim to improve risk to benefit ratio of prostate cancer screening.

1. Summarize contemporary guidelines on prostate cancer screening.
2. Discuss the literature that led to the recent reversal of United States Preventative Services Task Force's 2012 recommendation against prostate cancer screening.
3. Discuss the relative benefits and harms of prostate cancer screening within the context of emerging diagnostic methods and treatment options.
