摘要
Definitive evidence on the effectiveness of prostate cancer screening with prostate-specific antigen should come from the ongoing European Randomized Study of Screening for Prostate Cancer and Prostate, Lung, Colorectal and Ovary cancer trials, and should further elucidate the debate about the appropriate prostate-specific antigen threshold. Free prostate-specific antigen sub-forms offer prospects for prostate cancer detection at low prostate-specific antigen levels.
