Does prolonged anti-inflammatory therapy reduce number of unnecessary repeat saturation prostate biopsy?
INTRODUCTION The effect of a prolonged oral anti-inflammatory therapy on PSA values in patients with persistent abnormal PSA values after negative prostate biopsy (PBx) was evaluated. MATERIAL AND METHODS From September 2011 to September 2012, 70 patients (medi- an age 62 years), with persistent abnormal PSA values after negative extended PBx, were given an herbal extract with anti-inflammato...
متن کاملProstate cancer detection at repeat biopsy: can pelvic phased-array multiparametric MRI replace saturation biopsy?
AIM Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) accuracy in prostate cancer (PCa) diagnosis in men submitted to saturation prostate biopsy (SPBx) was evaluated. MATERIALS AND METHODS From June 2011 to December 2012, 78 patients (median 63 years) underwent repeat SPBx (median 28 cores). Multiparametric MRI using a 3 Tesla pelvic phased-array coil was performed before SPBx and lesions suspicious for PCa w...
متن کاملRaising cut-off value of prostate specific antigen (PSA) for biopsy in symptomatic men in India to reduce unnecessary biopsy
BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVES The characteristics of prostate specific antigen (PSA) for trans-rectal ultrasonography guided prostate biopsy in men with lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) are not well defined. This study was carried out to analyse the threshold of PSA for biopsy in symptomatic men in India. METHODS From January 2000 to June 2011, consecutive patients who had digital rectal examina...
متن کاملPCA3 score vs PSA free/total accuracy in prostate cancer diagnosis at repeat saturation biopsy.
AIM PCA3 score and PSA free/total (F/T) accuracy in PCa diagnosis at repeat saturation prostate biopsy (SPBx) in patients with PSA between 4 and 10 ng/mL was evaluated. MATERIALS AND METHODS From October 2009 to September 2011 74 men (median 64 years) with persistent high or increasing PSA values, negative DRE, median PSA values of 8.9 ng/mL and primary negative extended biopsy underwent a SP...
متن کاملKallikrein Panel Can Reduce Unnecessary Prostate Biopsies Reducing Unnecessary Biopsy During Prostate Cancer Screening Using a Four-Kallikrein Panel: An Independent Replication
Objective: To independently verify if a panel of 4 kallikreins (total, free, and intact prostate-specific antigen [PSA] and kallikrein-related peptidase 2) can determine who may not need prostate biopsy in the face of an elevated, initial screening PSA. Participants/Methods: 2914 men who underwent their first PSA screening for prostate cancer were evaluated from the European Randomized Study of...
