Vickers, Daniel D. Sjoberg, Robert Johansson, Torvald Granfors, Mattias Johansson, Kim Pettersson, Peter T.

2 Fig. 1 Risk of distant metastasis within 15 yr (dashed line) and 20 yr (solid line) by prostate-specific antigen (PSA). The four areas depicted in dark and light orange reflect the four quartiles of the population distribution of PSA levels. (A) Age 60 yr; (B) age 50 yr. PSA=prostate-specific antigen.

3 Fig. 2 Risk of distant metastasis among men with elevated prostate-specific antigen (PSA) by four kallikrein (KLK) panel score. (A) Age 60 yr and PSA ≥3 ng/ml (n=2432). Green line: overall risk of distant metastasis; orange line: risk of distant metastasis among men with four KLK panel score ≥7.5% (62% of the men); blue line: risk of distant metastasis among men with four KLK panel score <7.5% (38% of the men). (B) Age 50 yr and PSA ≥2 ng/ml (n=1692). Green line: overall risk of distant metastasis; orange line: risk of distant metastasis among men with four KLK panel score ≥5% (41% of the men); blue line: risk of distant metastasis among men with four KLK panel score <5% (59% of the men). PSA=prostate-specific antigen. European Urology  , DOI: ( /j.eururo ) Copyright © 2015 European Association of Urology Terms and Conditions
