Prostate cancer screening with Prostate-Specific Antigen (PSA) testing: A retrospective study
In our study, it is important to diagnose benign prostatic hypertrophy or prostate cancer in patients aged 55-69 years, whose mean PSA levels were 6.81±4.39, and referred to a urologist. As a contribution to the discussions in the literature, we recommend that the patient with symptoms be referred to the urologist after the test request and the joint decision with the family physician.
