title: [PSA levels and its relationship with digital examination, age, and score of prostatic symptoms].
abstract: Between November 1992 and March 1993 our Service conducted a campaign for early detection of prostate disease among the male population of Vigo. The study focused in the relationship of PSA with the age, rectal examination and prostate symptomatology score. In view of the results obtained it has been concluded that PSA levels increase gradually as a function of age, volume and prostate symptomatology score.
