Assessment of serum level of prostate-specific antigen adjusted for the transition zone volume in early detection of prostate cancer

OBJECTIVE: To determine the clinical usefulness of prostate-specific antigen (PSA) density in the transition zone (PSADTZ) for increasing the specificity in early detection of prostate cancer (PCa) and reducing unnecessary biopsies in males with PSA between 4.0 and 10 ng/mL.
