We report the first use of a commonly used ELISA colorimetric substrate as a SERRS marker and show how it can be used for the detection of pg ml(-1) levels of human prostate specific antigen (PSA) in clinical samples. The technique is amenable over a wide range of concentrations and lends itself to future multiplexing analysis.

AIM To review current data available on use of prostate specific antigen for screening healthy men for prostate cancer. METHODS Literature was reviewed and the guidelines from, American cancer Society, American Urologic Association was reviewed. RESULTS Current screening protocols lead to over diagnosis of prostate cancer. This often results in unnecessary biopsy procedures and treatments. ...

Background. The use of prostate-specific antigen test has markedly increased in Danish general practice in the last decade. Despite the national guidelines advice against PSA screening, opportunistic screening is supposed to be the primary reason for this increased number of PSA tests performed. Aims. Based on the increase in the amount of PSA conducted, we aimed to analyse how GPs in Denmark u...

PURPOSE Some patients with long postoperative intervals of undetectable prostate specific antigen are still at risk for biochemical recurrence. Our aims were to identify prognostic factors for late biochemical recurrence, including cancer family history, and evaluate cancer specific mortality. MATERIALS AND METHODS We identified 10,310 patients after radical prostatectomy without neoadjuvant ...
