  • Title: Prostate cancer detection in BPH patients.
    Author: Puppo P, Perachino M, Ricciotti G, Bozzo W.
    Journal: Arch Esp Urol; 1994 Nov; 47(9):867-72. PubMed ID: 7530942.
    Abstract:
    The first problem to be solved in the evaluation of BPH patients is surely the differential diagnosis with prostate carcinoma. We evaluated the impact of a combined approach for prostate cancer detection using DRE, PSA, TRUS and ultrasound-guided biopsy, determining the sensitivity and specificity of different tools, in order to obtain a diagnostic algorithm to be used for pretreatment differential diagnosis between prostate cancer and BPH.
