Prospective Study of the Role of Transurethral Resection of the Prostate in Patients with an Elevated Prostate-Specific Antigen Level, Minor Lower Urinary Tract Symptoms, and Proven Bladder Outlet Obstruction

This prospective study shows that, in patients with minor LUTS and no suspicion for prostate cancer, bladder outlet obstruction can result in elevated PSA levels. These patients will benefit from TURP regarding symptomatology and supernormalisation of PSA levels. Moreover, albeit in few cases, histological examination will reveal aggressive prostate cancer.
