We evaluated the detection rate of prostate cancer in male outpatients presenting lower urinary tract symptoms(LUTS). Between 1995 and 2001,504male outpatients from 50 to 79 years old who visited our clinic presenting LUTS were evaluated. All of them received serum prostate specific antigen(PSA)determination and digital rectal examination(DRE). LUTS was evaluated by the International Prostate Symptom Score(IPSS). We recommended transrectal prostate biopsy to 128 patients who had either a PSA level of 4.1ng/ml or higher,or abnormal findings on DRE or transrectal ultrasonography. Of the 128 patients,74(57.8%)underwent prostate biopsy and we detected prostate cancer in 22(4.4%). Thus,the detection rate of prostate cancer was 4.4% in patients with LUTS,which was significantly higher than that detected in mass screening. This result suggests that close examinations for prostate cancer in cluding PSA and DRE are recommended in patients aged 50 years or older who present with LUTS. No LUTS specific to prostate cancer were identified in the study.
