Prostatic Intraepithelial Neoplasia: Influence of Clinical and Pathological Data on the Detection of Prostate Cancer

Abstract

High grade prostatic intraepithelial neoplasia is a strong predictor of subsequent cancer, especially in men with abnormal digital rectal examination and elevated serum PSA. Patients with high grade prostatic intraepithelial neoplasia should undergo repeat biopsy to exclude cancer. Further investigations are needed to optimize the treatment of patients with low grade prostatic intraepithelial neoplasia.
