Özet
Many patients have had persistently elevated PSA levels and have undergoing multiple negative prostate biopsies. No consensus has been reached on the treatment of patients who continue to have elevated PSA levels despite negative biopsy findings. In the current study, the authors examined the correlation among finasteride treatment, PSA and PSAD to determine patients who could be excluded from repeat prostate biopsy. They found that patients without prostate cancer have a greater decrease in PSAD when taking finasteride for 6 months than those with prostate cancer.
