The utility of prostate‐specific antigen velocity thresholds in clinical practice: a population‐based analysis

OBJECTIVE To investigate the ability of prostate‐specific antigen velocity (PSAV) to predict prostate cancer, and assess the test characteristics of several PSAV thresholds for identifying prostate cancer and high‐grade cancers. PATIENTS AND METHODS From a population‐based database of PSA results, m...
