pubmed:abstractText |
Prostate-specific antigen (PSA) measurement is a widely used screening test for prostate cancer. However, studies assessing the performance of PSA suffer from verification bias and incorporation bias, because men with PSA levels less than 4 ng/mL do not undergo biopsy unless the digital rectal examination findings are suspicious for prostate cancer. We have reviewed how these biases have influenced such studies.
