Detection rate of prostate cancer on the basis of the vienna nomogram: a singapore study.

CONCLUSIONS: With the use of the Vienna nomogram, our prostate cancer detection rate is comparable to previously published data for Asian patients. This nomogram offers an easy tool with which to select the optimal number of prostate biopsy cores to be taken on the basis of patient age and total prostate volume. With this biopsy strategy, we also have found that the complication rate from prostate biopsy is low. PMID: 24741412 [PubMed]
