Abstract Background Serum prostate-specific antigen (PSA) is widely used in screening tests for prostate cancer. As the low specificity of PSA results in unnecessary and invasive prostate biopsies, we evaluated the clinical significance of various PSAs and PSA density (PSAD) related to peripheral zones in patients with gray zone PSA level (4–10 ng/mL). Methods A total of 1300 patients underwent transrectal ultrasonography-guided prostate biopsy from 2014 to 2019. Among them, 545 patients in the gray zone were divided into the prostate cancer diagnosis group and the non-prostate cancer diagnosis group, and PSA, relative extra transitional zone PSA (RETzPSA), estimated post holmium laser enucleation of the prostate PSA (EPHPSA), PSAD, peripheral zone PSA density (PZPSAD) and extra-transitional zone density (ETzD) were compared and analyzed using receiver-operating characteristics (ROC) analysis after 1:1 matching using propensity score. Results Area under the ROC curve values of PSA, EPHPSA, RETzPSA, PSA density, ETzD, and PZPSAD were 0.553 (95% CI: 0.495–0.610), 0.611 (95% CI: 0.554–0.666), 0.673 (95% CI: 0.617–0.725), 0.745 (95% CI: 0.693–0.793), 0.731 (95% CI: 0.677–0.780) and 0.677 (95% CI: 0.611–0.719), respectively. PSAD had 67.11% sensitivity, 71.71% specificity, and 70.34% positive predictive rate at 0.18 ng/mL/cc. ETzD had 69.08% sensitivity, 64.47% specificity, and 66.04% positive predictive rate at 0.04 ng/mL/cc. When the cut-off value of PSAD was increased to 0.18 ng/mL/cc, the best results were obtained with an odds ratio of 5.171 (95% CI: 3.171–8.432), followed by ETzD with 4.054 (95% CI: 2.513–6.540). Conclusions These results suggested that volume-adjusted parameters (ETzD and PSAD) might be more sensitive and accurate than various PSA in gray zone patients who required prostate biopsy to reduce unnecessary biopsy.
