ABSTRACT
INTRODUCTION:
To evaluate whether percent free prostate-specific antigen (%-fPSA) could be predictive of pathological stage and Gleason score in patients with prostate cancer (PCa) and serum PSA of 10 ng/ml or less. MATERIALS ANDMETHODS:
In 100 patients with total PSARESULTS:
32 patients had an organ-confined and 68 a locally advanced PCa. Median %-fPSA level was 15%; Gleasonscore was <7 in 49 patients, equal to 7 in 40 and >7 in 11. Median %-fPSA levels in PCa with Gleason scoreCONCLUSIONS:
%-fPSA cut-off does not seem to be useful for preoperative staging of patients with PCa and serum PSA
