medicine | detection rates of nonpalpable prostate cancer in Korean men do not differ significantly in two groups of patients with a lower and a higher PSA range, thus a lower PSA level (2.5 ng/mL may be a more appropriate cutoff point than 4.0 ng/mL) may be considered as an indication for prostate biopsy | Homo sapiens |

physiological function | patient group 1 (PSA levels, 2.5-4.0 ng/mL) and patient group 2 (PSA levels, 4.0-10.0 ng/mL) of Korean men with normal digital rectal examination and transrectal ultrasonography findings have statistically significant differences in age, prostate volume, and PSA density, but not in prostate cancer detection rates, which are 21.8% in the group 1 and 20.2% in the group 2 | Homo sapiens |
