The paper gives the results of examination in 701 patients with suspected prostate cancer (PC) who have undergone histoscanning, followed by prostate biopsy and comparison of the results of histoscanning with those of other noninvasive diagnostic methods for PC and morphological conclusion after biopsy. The sensitivity and specificity of histoscanning procedures were determined in patients with different degrees of risk for PC progression.
