What PSA density threshold suggests cancer?

PSAD >=0.15 ng/mL/mL suggests clinically significant PCa. PSAD <0.10 favors benign etiology. PSAD 0.10-0.15 is intermediate zone requiring clinical judgment and shared decision-making.

How is prostate volume measured for PSAD?

Prostate volume by TRUS or MRI using ellipsoid formula (0.52 x AP x transverse x longitudinal, in mL). MRI is more accurate. PSAD using MRI volume is the preferred method.

Does PSAD improve biopsy decision-making?

Yes. PSAD combined with MRI PI-RADS score improves clinically significant PCa detection. EAU guidelines recommend PSAD >=0.15 as one criterion supporting biopsy in PI-RADS 3 lesions.

Prostate Volume PSA Density Threshold

Calculate PSA density (PSA / prostate volume in mL). PSA density >=0.15 ng/mL/mL suggests clinically significant prostate cancer rather than benign prostatic hyperplasia.
