| English abstract | On the other hand, when F/T PSA was used, the loss would reach almost 40%; however less than 30% would undergo unnecessary biopsies. Nevertheless, PSADTZ had the only AUC presenting p < 0.05 in significance when compared with 50%, and was consequently discriminative. CONCLUSIONS: PSADTZ increased PSA specificity in early detection of PCa in males with PSA between 4.0 and 10 ng/mL. However, it was shown to have lower predictive value and lower accuracy than the percentage of free PSA since it presents a higher negative predictive value than all other parameters assessed, and it can be considered clinically useful for reducing unnecessary indications for biopsy |
