Root Kustritz College of Veterinary Medicine, University of Minnesota, St. Paul, MN Abstract Electronic medical records with a final diagnosis of prostate disease were retrieved from the electronic medical record system of a veterinary academic referral hospital. In humans, evaluation for prostate disease by a physician is recommended for all men between the ages of 50 and 75 who have a life expectancy of at least ten years.34 The recommended diagnostic tests are a complete history; digital rectal examination to evaluate prostate size, shape, and consistency, and to assess for pain; urinalysis; and assessment for serum concentration of prostate specific antigen (PSA).35 This is recommended for all men, whether or not they are symptomatic, and further diagnostic testing, such as ultrasound and aspirate or biopsy of the prostate, are recommended only in men with symptoms of prostate disease or elevated PSA concentrations.	cache/ct-11251.pdf	txt/ct-11251.txt
