The predictive value of PSA in diagnosis of prostate cancer in non screened population

[corrected] PSA is the most important tumor marker in all solid tumor, indispensable in the management of prostate cancer. Screening for prostate cancer is still not recomended, although performed in many countries, which introduced questions about the usefulnes of PSA in detection of prostate cancer. The PSA treshold has also been changed, the value of PSA derivatives revised. Whether such changes are applicable in non scrrened population is questionable. Aim of this study was to evaluate the predictive value of PSA, free/ total PSA and PSA density in our non screened population.
