The advantages of transurethral resection of the prostate in patients with an elevated or rising prostate specific antigen, mild or moderate lower urinary tract symptoms, bladder outlet obstruction and negative prostate cancer imaging or prostate biopsies: A prospective analysis in 105 consecutive patients

Baten E, et al. – A prospective analysis was conducted to evaluate elevated or rising prostate specific antigen (PSA) as a marker for bladder outlet obstruction (BOO) in patients with minor lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) and without prostate cancer.
