The conclusion of the study is that PSA velocity adds very little predictive value for determining the outcome of a first prostate biopsy in men with elevated PSA. These findings are very similar to those of earlier studies.

This suggests that current guidelines on the use of PSAV to guide biopsy should be revised.
