Age 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...

Clinically significant responses after withdrawal of flutamide in patients with hormone-refractory prostate cancer (HRPC) are well documented. Failure to recognize this syndrome of response results in potential morbidity due to salvage therapy, confusion in interpretation of disease state, and introduction of a possible source of error in clinical trials. In this case report, we describe a pati...

متن کاملExpression of prostate-specific membrane antigen in transitional cell carcinoma of the bladder: prognostic value?
The expression of Prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) mRNA was assessed in the normal bladder urothelium (n = 9), transitional cell carcinoma (TCC) specimens (n = 52), TCC-derived cell lines (n = 3), and preoperative blood samples from TCC patients (n = 27). Specific PSMA mRNA was found in 100% of normal and malignant tissues and two cell lines. PSMA protein was detected in normal (n = 3)...
