Detección de cáncer de próstata incidental con resección transuretral de próstata en pacientes con síntomas de tracto urinario inferior y antígeno prostático específico elevado del Hospital General de México

Objective: To evaluate the rate of early detection of transition zone prostate cancer through transurethral resection of the prostate (turp) in patients suspected of having cancer, with or without a negative transrectal biopsy of the prostate (trbp). Materials and methods: A retrospective and cross-sectional study evaluated the efficacy of turp in the early detection of transition zone prostate cancer. The analysis included male patients over 40 years of age that sought medical attention due to lower urinary tract symptoms, elevated prostate-specific antigen, normal digital rectal examination, and negative trbp, as urology consultation outpatients at the Hospital General de México. ©Revista Mexicana de Urología, Sociedad Mexicana de Urología.
