[Mass screening for prostate cancer in Nagano].
In three villages in Nagano, we performed mass screening for prostate cancer by digital rectal examination, transabdominal ultrasonography and serum prostate specific antigen. The cancer detection rate was 5.1% (9/178). Serum prostate specific antigen was especially useful for cancer detection.
