The Role of Digital Rectal Examination Prostate Volume Category in the Early Detection of Prostate Cancer : Its Correlation with the Magnetic Resonance Imaging Prostate Volume

Abstract

To relate the prostate volume category (PVC) assessed with digital rectal examination (DRE)-small, median, and large-and the prostate volumes (PVs) assessed with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and transrectal ultrasound (TRUS). To compare the clinically significant prostate cancer (csPCa) discrimination ability of two predictive models based on DRE-PVC and MRI-PV. A prospective trial of 2,090 men with prostate-specific antigen
