In order to differentiate benign from malignant prostatic lesions, 42 patients were evaluated using the prostate specific antigen density (PSAD) test. All patients were evaluated with PSA determination, digital rectal examination (DRE), transrectal ultrasonography (TRUS) and ultrasound-guided prostatic biopsies. PSA was analyzed by the I-MX ABBOT assay. PSAD was determined by dividing the serum PSA by the volume of the prostate. Prostatic biopsies identified cancer in 3 of the 42 patients (6.38%). It is concluded that PSAD is valuable for the early diagnosis of localized prostatic carcinoma, especially when there are negative findings from DRE and/or TRUS.
