In this study we proposed to verify sensitivity and specificity of prostate-specific antigen (PSA), digital rectal examination (DRE) and transrectal ultrasound (TRUS) in patients who referred at our institution for prostatic complaints. 141 patients, ages ranging between 55 and 86 years (mean 67.5), underwent DRE, blood PSA, TRUS and ultrasonically guided biopsy of the prostate. The comparison of the results obtained with the different diagnostic tools allowed us to draw a diagnostic algorithm for prostate cancer in symptomatic patients.
在本研究中，我们旨在验证前列腺特异性抗原（PSA）、直肠指检（DRE）和经直肠超声（TRUS）在因前列腺问题前来我院就诊患者中的敏感性和特异性。141例年龄在55至86岁之间（平均67.5岁）的患者接受了直肠指检、血液PSA检测、经直肠超声检查以及前列腺超声引导下活检。通过比较不同诊断工具所获得的结果，我们为有症状患者制定了前列腺癌的诊断算法。
