Prostate cancer is the most commonly diagnosed malignancy in men, and is the second leading cause of death due to cancer in men [1, 2]. It has been found at autopsy that 30% of men at age 50, 40% at age 60, and almost 90% at age 90 have prostate cancer [3, 4]. Over the past decade, the prostate-specific antigen (PSA) blood test has become well established for early detection of prostate cancer, particularly for monitoring of prostate cancer after treatment [5–10].
