Accurate Cut-off Point for Free to Total Prostate- Specific Antigen Ratio Used to Improve Differentiation of Prostate Cancer from Benign Prostate Hyperplasia in Iranian Population

Purpose: Our aim was to determine a more predictive cut-off value for free to total prostate-specific antigen ratio (f/tPSA) to better differentiate prostate cancer (PCa) from benign prostate hyperplasia (BPH) in Iranian patients with serum PSA levels between 4 and 20 ng/mL.Materials and Methods: Th...
