## Abstract __Objective:__ To establish the value of serum prostateβspecific antigen (PSA) and prostatespecific antigen per unit volume of prostate gland (PSAD) in detecting prostate carcinoma (CaP) in a hypothetical screening algorithm, a metaβanalysis of the sensitivities, specificities, predicti
## BACKGROUND. The 11,811 first visits and 46,751 annual follow-up visits performed since 1988 were analyzed in order to assess the efficacy of serum prostatic specific antigen (PSA) and digital rectal examination (DRE) for diagnosis of prostate cancer. METHODS. At first visit, screening included
