Prostate specific antigen density is useful in this group of individuals. Aims and Objectives: To determine the usefulness of prostate specific antigen density (PSAD) in detection of prostate cancer in native African men with intermediate prostate specific antigen (4.0-10.0ng/ml). Design of the study: It was a cross-sectional, prospective study. Setting: This study took place at the Jos University Teaching Hospital, Urology Division, Department of Surgery, Jos, Nigeria.
