Abstract

Abstract: Serum prostate‐specific antigen (PSA) levels play an important role in the screening and diagnosis of prostate cancer (PCa). The recommended PSA cut‐off in PCa screening is 4 ng/ml. We report two cases of localized PCa with low PSA levels that were incidentally found by computed tomography (CT) performed for another disease. Abstract : The recommended PSA cut‐off value for prostate cancer screening is 4 ng/ml. However, with the advent of computed tomography and other imaging techniques prostate cancer with low PSA levels is being diagnosed more frequently.
