## Abstract Our objective was to determine whether multivariate algorithms based on serum total PSA, the free proportion of PSA, age, digital rectal examination and prostate volume can reduce the rate of false‐positive PSA results in prostate cancer screening more effectively than the proportion of

An understanding of the natural history of changes in prostate-specific antigen (PSA) may be valuable as a surrogate view of prostate dynamics, as a method to differentiate between benign and malignant growth, and as a means to assess the use of PSA as a tool for monitoring activity of chemopreventi
## Abstract The purpose of this investigation was to examine changes in pretreatment prostate‐specific antigen (PSA), stage, and grade over the past decade as a function of race and geographic region. A multiinstitutional database representing 6,790 patients (1,417 African‐American, 5,373 white) di
Numerous racial differences have been reported for carcinoma of the prostate diagnosed in African-American (AA) men when compared to whites. These differences include: (1) a higher incidence in AA compared to whites, (2) a more advanced stage at diagnosis in A4, and (3) higher mortality rates in AA
## Abstract We estimated the sensitivity of serum prostate‐specific antigen (PSA) as a screening test for prostate cancer in the Finnish randomised, population‐based prostate cancer screening trial. The study population consisted of 80,458 men aged 55–67 years identified from the national populatio
