摘要

As a result of prostate cancer screening programs, approximately 10% of otherwise healthy men will be found to have an elevated prostate-specific antigen (PSA) level and therefore be at risk for harboring prostate cancer. Patients with an elevated PSA level have a wide variation in the risk for having prostate cancer diagnosed by transrectal ultrasound (TRUS)-guided prostate biopsy. To adequately counsel these patients, some form of individualized risk assessment must be given. There are several tables, artificial neural network (ANN) models, and nomograms that are available to stratify an individual patients risk for having prostate cancer diagnosed by a TRUS biopsy, either initially or on subsequent biopsies after a previous negative biopsy. Presently, nomograms are also being developed to predict the risk not only for having prostate cancer but also for clinically significant prostate cancer. The difficulty in calculating this risk for an individual patient is that the multiple competing clinical and pathologic factors have varying degrees of effect on the overall risk. This problem of competing risk factors can be overcome by the use of nomograms or ANNs. This article reviews the available instruments that are available to the urologist to enable prediction of the risk for having prostate cancer diagnosed by TRUS-guided prostate biopsy.
