PSA density: The comeback kid?

The Comeback Kid?

Balloon angioplasty revolutionized coronary revascularization; however, elastic recoil and restenosis caused by cellular proliferation are major drawbacks of angioplasty. Intracoronary stenting, which could tackle dissections and eliminate elastic recoil, became the next mode of intervention but was limited by stent thrombosis and increased neointimal hyperplasia, leading to in-stent restenosis...

PSA density and PSA transition zone density in the diagnosis of prostate cancer in PSA gray zone cases.

This study assessed the efficacy of prostate specific antigen density (PSAD) and PSA transition zone density (PSATZ) in predicting prostate cancer in men with PSA levels of 4.0-10.0 ng/ml. Between July 1996 and July 2000, PSAD and PSATZ were determined in 202 patients who underwent ultrasonography-guided systemic sextant biopsies plus 2 transitional zone biopsies. Of the 202 patients, 27 (13.4%...
