Abstract
CA: A Cancer Journal for Clinicians publishes information about the prevention, early detection, and treatment of cancer, as well as nutrition, palliative care, survivorship, and additional topics of interest related to cancer care.

CancerThe American cancer society national prostate cancer detection project. Findings on the detection of early prostate cancer in 2425 men
300 Citations1991Curtis Mettlin, Fred Lee +3 more
Preliminary data suggest the feasibility of using digital rectal examination, transrectal ultrasound, and prostate specific antigen assay for prostate cancer detection to promote cancer control, but additional data and follow-up are needed.
The Journal of UrologyThe National Survey of Prostate Cancer in the United States by the American College of Surgeons
232 Citations1982G.P. Murphy, Nachimuthu Natarajan +5 more
Data from the 1980 long- and short-term surveys of the American College of Surgeons Commission on Cancer were examined to identify recent trends in the management of prostate cancer and suggest changing patterns of care for prostatic cancer in the patients observed from 1974 to 1979.
The Journal of UrologyTrends in Patterns of Care for Prostatic Cancer, 1974–1983: Results of Surveys by the American College of Surgeons
172 Citations1986Joseph D. Schmidt, Curtis Mettlin +5 more
Transurethral resection continues to be the most common means to establish the diagnosis of prostatic cancer but the data do suggest that in more patients the tumors are being staged and graded, and five-year survival rates appear to be improving for all stages, and for white and black patients.
PubMedDetection of endometrial carcinoma and hyperplasia in asymptomatic women.
166 Citations1984Koss Lg, K. Schreiber +3 more
It is strongly suggested that in asymptomatic women past the age of 50, endometrial hyperplasia does not necessarily precede or accompany the development of endometricrial carcinoma.
CancerThe relationship of prostate‐specific antigen to digital rectal examination and transrectal ultrasonography: Findings of the American cancer society national prostate cancer detection project
97 Citations1992Richard J. Babaian, Curtis Mettlin +5 more
The results of this ongoing multicenter study support the following statements: (1) the prostate cancer detection rate is influenced by this diagnostic triad and (2) the detection rate of organ‐confined disease can be improved substantially by early detection programs.

The use of TRUS gland volume data to further modify PSA decision levels, such as the "predicted" PSA concept, may also improve TRUS biopsy criteria and predictive values.
CancerProstate‐specific antigen lewels in 1695 men without evidence of prostate cancer: Findings of the American cancer society national prostate cancer detection project
52 Citations1992Robert A. Kane, Peter J. Littrup +6 more
It was concluded that volume‐adjusted upper limits of normal PSA can be determined for different levels of specificity desired and this information may be applicable to the use of PSA in men not already suspected of having prostate cancer and may increase its effectiveness as a tool for early detection.
