Journal ArticleDOI

Prostate-specific antigen testing accuracy in community practice

TL;DR: PSA testing had fair discriminating power for detecting prostate cancer in community practice and the PSA cutpoint of 4 ng/ml was sensitive but relatively non-specific and associated likelihood ratios only moderately revised probabilities for cancer.
Journal ArticleDOI

Laser prostatectomy for benign prostatic obstruction.

TL;DR: Laser techniques are a useful alternative to TURP for treating BPO and are less likely to receive transfusions or develop strictures and their hospitalizations were shorter than other minimally invasive procedures.
Journal ArticleDOI

Journal ArticleDOI
