Doctors say that checking for these pre-cancerous cells could offer the male equivalent of the Pap test, the routine screening that identifies cervical cancer in its early curable stage. These pre-cancerous growths are called high-grade PIN, short for prostatic intraepithelial neoplasia.

While experts have suspected for more than a decade that this is cancer in the making, a study released Sunday is the first to show what happens to men with these cells. The research, conducted among' military veterans in Boston, found that older men with high-grade PIN have a 50-50 chance of developing prostate cancer, double the usual risk. Still, doctors are unsure what to do with this information. There is no good evidence yet that taking out these men's prostate glands will ward off death from cancer, although this is possible.

"We have to watch them very closely." Nauman presented his findings at a meeting in Atlanta of the American Society of Clinical Oncology. His team reviewed the outcome of men who underwent prostate biopsies between 1989 and 1993 because blood tests hinted at possible cancer or doctors felt lumps in their prostates. Sixty-one had high-grade PIN, while 47 did not. After seven years of follow-up, prostate cancer was found in 49 percent with high-grade PIN, compared with 21 percent of the other men. There were too few cancer deaths in either group to show whether knowing men's PIN status improved their chances of survival.
