Total and percent free prostate-specific antigen levels among U.S. men, 2001-2002.
BACKGROUND Because total prostate-specific antigen (PSA) and, more recently, the percent free PSA are used to screen men for prostate cancer, population-based, age- and race-specific distributions are needed of both PSA tests among American men to estimate the effect of lowering the PSA threshold or widespread introduction of the free PSA test as an additional screening test. METHODS We did P...

Background: Because total prostate-specific antigen (PSA) and, more recently, the percent free PSA are used to screen men for prostate cancer, population-based, ageand racespecific distributions are needed of both PSA tests among American men to estimate the effect of lowering the PSA threshold or widespread introduction of the free PSA test as an additional screening test.

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...

متن کاملHemodilution of prostate-specific antigen levels among obese men.
To the Editor: A recent article by Grubb and colleagues (1) shows that the inverse relationship between prostate-specific antigen (PSA) test results and body mass index (BMI) among men from the Prostate, Lung, Colorectal, and Ovarian Cancer Screening Trial can be explained by the higher blood volume in the obese, an effect called hemodilution (2). Their finding is consistent with our analyses i...
