The effect on the sensitivities of PSA and PSA-age volume score of IPSS and nocturia in predicting positive prostate biopsy findings

Conclusions All our data shows that if we remove most of the factors which effect PSA such as age, prostate volume, prostatitis and BPH, we may increase the sensitivity of PSA for predicting positive prostate biopsy. Further PSA formulas contain of result of some tests (I-PSS, uroflowmetry or postvoiding residue urine) as well as age and prostate volume should increase the sensitivity and specificity of PSA for detecting prostate cancer.
