In the current study Loeb et al examine the predictive value of PSAV in a screening population of men with a total PSA less than 4.0 ng/ml. On multivariate analysis a PSAV greater than 0.4 ng/ml per year was the strongest independent predictor of prostate cancer in men with a total PSA less than 4.0 ng/ml. This work represents an important tool for practicing urologists as PSA thresholds are lowered and more and more men present with total PSA values less than 4.0 ng/ml
