However, the specificity of PSA was probably overestimated because asymptomatic men were unlikely to be biopsied.
Men with initial PSA elevations > 4 ng/ml or an abnormal DRE were biopsied and cancer cases were excluded.
Furthermore, histological examination of new epidermal cells in the wound bed and Northern analysis of expression of a wound keratinocyte marker, cytokeratin 14, in the biopsied tissues revealed that reepithelialization in SPARC-null mice was probably not compromised.
In the urologic literature, sensitivities ranged from 67% to 90%, specificities ranged from 28% to 59%, and positive predictive values ranged from 30% to 43% [ 9 10 11 19 20 27 28 ] . However, almost all of the published studies, including our own, are flawed by potential work-up bias because men with elevated PSA levels were significantly more likely to be biopsied.
Accurately estimating the true and false negative rates for PSA requires that men with normal PSA values undergo biopsy, but we found only one small urologic series where all PSA-tested subjects were subsequently biopsied.
