Abstract
The traditional prostate specific antigen velocity threshold of 0.75 ng/ml yearly is too high for men younger than 60 years and it misses 48% of prostate cancers. Young men with prostate specific antigen velocity greater than 0.4 ng/ml yearly are at significantly greater risk for prostate cancer and close followup is warranted.
