Does an asymmetric lobe in digital rectal examination include any risk for prostate cancer? results of 1495 biopsies
INTRODUCTION Despite the well-known findings related to malignity in DRE such as nodule and induration, asymmetry of prostatic lobes, seen relatively, were investigated in a few studies as a predictor of prostate cancer so that there is no universally expected conclusion about asymmetry. We aimed to compare cancer detection rate of normal, asymmetric or suspicious findings in DRE by using biops...

Often, PSA testing is not combined with DRE when screening for prostate cancer. METHODS We collected a list of veteran outpatients who had PSA testing performed between Ju...
متن کاملProstate-Specific Antigen versus Digital Rectal Examination in the Diagnosis of Prostate Cancer
Prostate cancer is the most commonly diagnosed non-cutaneous cancer and the third most common cause of death from cancer in males in the US. An increasing life expectancy in male population and increasing use of prostatespecific antigen (PSA) for early detection of the disease are probably the two main factors accounting for higher detection rate. The DRE is still the basis in the suspicion of ...
متن کاملValue of various PSA parameters for diagnosing prostate cancer in men with normal digital rectal examination.
OBJECTIVES The risks of identifying prostate cancer (PCa) in patients with serum total PSA (tPSA) between 4 and 10 ng/dl are between 25 and 35%. There are no data in Brazil showing the incidence of disease when all variables for PSA assessment are considered altogether, specifically tPSA, free fraction, PSA velocity and PSA stratified by age. The objective in this work was to define the inciden...
