Is it true that roughly 75 percent of men with a PSA level of 4 to 10 ng/mL have no prostate cancer on biopsy?
Unclear. Two sources give figures for the PSA 4-10 range: a cost-effectiveness analysis reporting 26% cancer prevalence and a clinic page stating a 25% chance of prostate cancer, both implying roughly three-quarters of men in that range have no cancer on biopsy. Neither is a dedicated prevalence study, so the evidence covers the claim only in part.
