Popis:	Early-stage prostate cancer is usually asymptomatic and therefore, in the past, has often gone undetected, unless diagnosed by a digital rectal examination. Recently, in order to improve the detection of early stage disease, new tests have been introduced, namely prostate specific antigen and transrectal ultrasound. Considerable debate exists not only about the usefulness of the screening but also about the routine use of these tests. In this article the features of these tests, single or in combination are discussed, and how to perform follow-up of the patient already submitted to screening for prostatic carcinoma.
