Abstract

Though informative and suggestive, PSA and % fPSA are not definitive for cancer or non-cancer determination. The differentiation of PSA level between tumours classified as grade 2 (3+4=7) and grade 3 (4+3=7) could support the determination of treatment by backing pathologist's interpretation of the histological diagnosis.
