staging method using TRUS and PSA. The
size of the focal lesion was related to serum
PSA levels e.g., two focal lesions > 2.0 cm
had PSA levels in excess of 1nmo1/ml.
Cooner et al found 45 cases out of 144
screened by TRUS with PSA levels > 10
ng/ml having prostatic carcinoma and
concluded that every patient with
significantly raised PSA levels should have
TRUS examination. All the four focal lesions
> 1.5 cm3 volume had raised PSA levels of
>10 nmo1/ml, two having invasion of
prostatic capsule suggesting that size of the
lesion was related to glisson state of the
lesion.. Petter Littrays et al suggested close
relationship of prostatic volume to PSA
