Researchers hope the identification of a new subtype of the fourth most common cancer will lead the way to more targeted therapies.Of the 6,537 men who were given a DRE, 57 had suspicious findings that required referral for biopsy. Only three were eventually found to have cancer. The detection rate was considerably higher when a PSA was used for initial screening.
“Early stage cancer may not have the size and stiffness to be palpable,” said Peter Albers, senior author of the study and a urologist at Düsseldorf University. “Separate analysis that used MRI scans before biopsies to locate cancers in the prostate showed that about 80 per cent of these are in an area that should be easy to reach with a finger and still cancers were not detectable by DRE.
