Description

Highlights: • The prostate-specific antigen density (PSAD) was calculated for the TZ (TZPSAD). • TZPSAD may be a better surrogate marker for cancer aggressiveness than PSAD. • A TZPSAD threshold of 0.22 ng/ml2 may help in risk stratification. - Abstract: Purpose: To compare the correlation of transition zone prostate-specific antigen density (TZPSAD) versus whole gland (WG) density (PSAD) with Gleason score.
