Diagnostic accuracy of prostate-specific antigen and prostate-specific antigen density in patients suspected of having prostate cancer in South Korea: A large, multi-institutional registry
These findings suggest that diagnostic yield may not be impacted by merely lowering the PSA cutoff. Rather, combining PSA, PSAD, and patient age enhances screening accuracy while minimizing unnecessary biopsies and overdiagnosis. Our results highlight the need for more data to refine national screening guidelines and promote a more tailored approach to prostate cancer screening in Korea.
