PSA levels of 4.0 ng/mL and lower were considered normal. However, some individuals with PSA levels below 4.0 ng/mL have prostate cancer and many with higher PSA levels between 4 and 10 ng/mL do not have prostate ...
more than 1000 men would have to be screened and 37 cancers would need to be detected in order to prevent one death from prostate cancer over 11 years of follow-up. In contrast, an American randomised
