  • Small prostate size and high grade disease--biology or artifact?

    Liu JJ, Brooks JD, Ferrari M, Nolley R, Presti JC. J Urol. 2011; 185 (6): 2108-11

    Prior radical prostatectomy series have shown an inverse association between prostate size and high grade cancer. It has been suggested that smaller size prostates arise in a low androgen environment, enabling development of more aggressive cancer. We propose that this observation is the result of ascertainment bias driven by prostate specific antigen performance.
