Screening and diagnosis of prostate cancer in patients with ileal pouch-anal anastomosis: consensus from an expert panel

Bo Shen et al. Am J Gastroenterol. 2011 Feb.

Abstract

Screening for prostate cancer after restorative proctocolectomy with ileal pouch-anal anastomosis can be challenging. Diagnostic biopsy for an elevated level of prostate-specific antigen may present difficulties as well. No guidelines have been issued regarding the value and accuracy of digital examination and the best route to obtain prostate biopsy specimens. A screening and diagnostic algorithm for prostate cancer was developed by an expert consensus panel.
