Association between prostate specific antigen change over time and prostate cancer recurrence risk: a joint model
Background: Prostate specific antigen (PSA) is an important biomarker to monitor patients after treated with radiation therapy (RT). The aim of this study is to evaluate the relationship between the PSA data and prostate cancer recurrence using the joint modeling. Methods: This historical cohort study was performed on 422 prostate cancer patients. Inclusion criteria included: patients with loc...
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 کاملProstate specific antigen bounce after intensity-modulated radiation therapy in an Asian population
Objective Serum prostate specific antigen (PSA) is commonly used to evaluate treatment response after definitive radiation therapy (RT). However, PSA levels can temporarily rise without a clear reason, termed "PSA bounce", and often engender great anxiety for both patients and physicians. The present study aimed to determine the prevalence and factors that predict "PSA bounce" after intensity-m...
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...
متن کاملMeningioma: A false positive finding of metastasis from prostate adenocarcinoma using 68Ga-PSMA PET/CT scan
A 73-year-old man with history of prostatic adenocarcinoma radical prostatectomy underwent 99mTc-MDP whole-body bone scan and subsequent 68Ga-labeled prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) ligand PET/CT for restaging due to a gradual rise of prostate-specific antigen levels. Whole-body bone scan showed two focal zones of slightly increased uptake in the right fronto-par...
