BACKGROUND Screening for prostate cancer (PCa) using the prostate-specific antigen (PSA) test is widespread in New Zealand. Aim. This study estimates the costs of identifying a new case of PCa by screening asymptomatic men. METHODS Men aged 40+, who had PSA tests in 31 general practices in the Midland Cancer Network region during 2010, were identified. Asymptomatic men without a history of PCa were eligible for this study. A decision tree was constructed to estimate the screening costs. We assumed GPs spent 3 minutes of the initial consultation on informed consent of PCa screening. RESULTS About 70.7% of the estimated costs were incurred in general practice. The screening costs per cancer detected were NZ
