In the European Randomized Study of Screening for Prostate Cancer (ER-SPC, Rotterdam region), men aged 55-74 years are screened for prostate cancer by prostatespecific antigen (PSA) sampling, digital rectal examination (DRE), and transrectal ultrasound investigation (TRUS). All men with a PSA Ն4 ng/

## Abstract ## BACKGROUND: Risk models to predict prostate cancer on biopsy, whether they include only prostate‐specific antigen (PSA) or other markers, are intended for use in all men of screening age. However, the association between PSA and cancer probably depends on a man's recent screening hi
A randomized screening trial was started in Europe to show the effect of early detection and treatment of prostate cancer on mortality (European Study on Screening of Prostate Cancer). In one centre (Rotterdam), the screening protocol initially consisted of 3 screening tests for all men: prostate-sp
## Abstract The extent of effective prostate‐specific antigen (PSA) contamination in the Rotterdam section of the ongoing European Randomized Study of Screening for Prostate Cancer (ERSPC) trial was evaluated and defined as when opportunistic PSA testing of ≥ 3.0 ng/ml was followed by biopsy, simil
