Core Tip

Core Tip: The patient was diagnosed with prostatic hyperplasia before surgery, and the postoperative pathological findings suggested prostate cancer. Total prostate-specific antigen (PSA) was within the normal range, while free PSA density (fPSAD) was elevated. We emphasize that PSA levels < 4 ng/mL may not always correlate with low cancer risk, highlighting the importance of fPSAD.
