Investigation of the relationship between prostate specific antigen doubling time and the severity of a malignant tumor of the prostate
Background: Prostate cancer has been reported as a worldwide important kind of cancer and the second most common cause of cancer-related mortality among men. Prostate-specific antigen (PSA) serum level is one of the most important markers of prostate cancer diagnosis. While PSA level helps predict the risk of prostate cancer development, researchers still looking for ways to increase the accura...
متن کاملAge Specific Reference Levels of Serum Prostate-Specific Antigen, Prostate Volume and Prostate Specific Antigen Density in Healthy Iranian Men
Background: It is relevant to highlight that there is not a precise and perfect report on either 95 percentile value (upper limit of normal range) or on appropriate reference intervals for serum PSA in Iranian population. Objective: To determine age-specific reference ranges for serum prostate-specific antigen (PSA) concentration and PSA density (PSAD) and prostate volumes in a population of he...

We aimed in this study, to assess the intensity of prostatic adenocarcinoma tissue staining with PSA staining method. Methods: In this corss-sectional study, prostatic adenocarcin...
متن کاملPretreatment prostate specific antigen doubling time as prognostic factor in prostate cancer patients
Despite the prostate-specific antigen (PSA) serum level commonly uses as tumor marker in diagnosis of prostate cancer, it seems that PSA doubling time (PSADT) could be more useful indicator of tumor behavior and of prognosis for patients. The results of hormone and radiation therapy were evaluated for 912 prostate cancer having at least 2 PSA tests before the treatment was started. Clustering p...
متن کاملWhat is the most appropriate test in detecting prostate cancer in patients with intermediate prostate specific antigen levels?
Abstract Background: Regarding the variety of tests present for detecting and also screening prostate cancer and also bearing in mind the advantages and disadvantages of these tests we decided to re-evaluate these tests (total prostate specific antigen and all of its modifications) in detecting prostate cancer in men with intermediate serum PSAlevels. Methods: Following a cross se...
