Abstract

Serum prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels play an important role in the screening and diagnosis of prostate cancer (PCa). The recommended PSA cut-off in PCa screening is 4 ng/ml. We report two cases of localized PCa with low PSA levels that were incidentally found by computed tomography (CT) performed for another disease.

Keywords: low prostate‐specific antigen; neuroendocrine; prostate cancer; prostate cancercase report.
