Incidence of prostate cancer among patients with prostate-related urinary symptoms: A single institution series in 10 years

Conclusions: DRE together with serum PSA and TRUS have the highest predictable values for diagnosis of prostate cancer among patients with voiding symptoms. In the absence of abnormal TRUS, PSA and DRE together are more predictable than either alone. Serum PSA alone is more predictable than DRE. Random prostate biopsies should be performed in the presence of high serum PSA, and/or abnormal findings by DRE in male patients with urinary symptoms suggestive of the prostate disease.
