At 90% and 95% sensitivity, the artificial neural networks (ANNs) were only significantly better than %fPSA if prostate volume was included.</jats:p></jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>CONCLUSIONS</jats:title><jats:p>ANNs with the novel input factors of MIC‐1, MIF, and/or hK11 and additional use of prostate volume demonstrated significant advantage compared with %fPSA and tPSA and may lead to a reduction in unnecessary prostate biopsies.
