Prostate cancer (PCa) is a disease with high incidence and
prevalence. Early detection of PCa has been an area for research to
decrease its morbidity and mortality. The discovery of prostate
specific antigen (PSA) revolutionised screening of PCa, which was
largely dependent on detection of prostatic acid phosphatase and
digital rectal examination. Several leading organisations and
cancer societies, based on present evidence, have published their
recommendations for its use in detection and monitoring of PCa.
There has been difference in opinions on its appropriate threshold
value to recommend prostate biopsy and benefits on health outcomes
due to its use in screening. This book presents and discusses
current research in the study of PCa and it's role in the screening
of prostate cancer.
