title: Prostate cancer: is PSA velocity useful?
abstract: When a patient presents for assessment of prostate cancer risk, do serial measurements of PSA provide more-useful information than determination of a single PSA concentration? The authors of a new systematic review contend that the answer to this question is 'no'. Stacy Loeb cautions against hasty abandonment of PSA kinetics.
