Early prostate cancer detection using digital rectal examination (DRE) and prostate-specific antigen (PSA) screening identified tumors confined to the prostate in most cases. Combined screening methods showed a 3.1% detection rate, encouraging early intervention.

Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Oncology
  • Diagnostic Medicine

Background:

  • Prostate cancer screening aims for early detection when tumors are localized.
  • Digital rectal examination (DRE) and serum prostate-specific antigen (PSA) are key screening tools.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the efficacy of DRE and serum PSA in the early detection of prostate cancer.
  • To determine the cancer detection rate and stage at diagnosis using these methods.

Main Methods:

  • 1000 men aged 50-75 underwent DRE and serum PSA testing.
  • Biopsies were performed for suspicious DRE or PSA levels > 10 ng/ml.
  • Transrectal ultrasound guided biopsies were utilized.

Main Results:

Related Experiment Videos

  • The combined detection rate for prostate cancer was 3.1%.
  • Of 31 prostate cancer cases, 29 were confined to the prostate (Stage A or B).
  • 91% of detected tumors were biologically significant based on volume and grade.

    • Conclusions:

    • Combined DRE and PSA screening effectively detects localized prostate cancer.
    • Early detection through these methods, alongside transrectal ultrasound, should be encouraged.
    • Further evidence is needed to confirm screening's impact on disease-specific mortality reduction.
