Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on improving early detection of clinically significant prostate cancer (csPCa) by integrating prostate transition zone (TZ) parameters with the prostate health index (PHI), particularly in patients with prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels in the gray zone (4.0 to 10.0 ng/mL).
- 177 PSA gray zone patients were analyzed using transrectal ultrasound to measure prostatic morphologies, revealing that total prostate volume and transition zone volume were significant predictors of csPCa, along with C-reactive protein and PHI-related metrics.
- Integrated predictive models, particularly PHI transition zone density (PHI-TZD), demonstrated high accuracy in predicting csPCa, effectively reducing unnecessary
