Abstract

Prostatic tumors range from small slow-growing lesions to aggressive tumors that metastasize rapidly, and there is controversy about which screen-detected lesion will become clinically significant (Neal and Donovan 2000). Current methods of screening involve measurement of PSA followed by transrectal ultrasound scanning and biopsy.
