450 males aged over 50 years free of urological symptoms were screened for prostatic cancer using three techniques; finger rectal examination (FRE), transrectal ultrasound investigation (TUI), assay for prostatic specific antigen in the serum (SPSA). SPSA quantities under 4 ng/ml, 4-10 ng/ml, 10-20 ng/ml, over 20 ng/ml were registered in 206(45.8%), 135(30%), 69(15.4%) and 40(8.8%) patients, respectively. Detectability of prostatic cancer increases by 33,37.9, 45.5, 69.2% due to TUI, FRE, TUI + FRE, all the three methods, respectively. Prostatic biopsy was needed in 102 (22.7%) cases. From the 450 examinees, prostatic cancer was diagnosed in 25 (5.6%). SPSA was high in all of them, higher than 10 ng/ml in 92%. 20 (80%) of 25 patients with cancer had early stages of the disease (TI-2). The study is going on.
