Background: Prostate cancer is the most common malignancy in men and the second leading cause of death in all countries of the world. The exact mechanism of prostate cancer is not known. On the other hand, early detection of prostate cancer can lead to a complete cure. Several clinical experiments including Digital Rectum Examination (DRE), biochemistry such as Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA), ...

Background: stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) has emerged as an effective treatment for localized prostate cancer. However, prostate-specific antigen (PSA) kinetics after SBRT has not been well characterized. The objective of the current study is to analyze the rate of PSA decline and PSA nadir following hypofractonated SBRT in localized prostate cancer. Materials and Methods: From 2008...

Introduction: Prostate cancer is the utmost communal type of in adult men. Assessment serum total prostate specific antigen (PSA) broadly cast-off as a screening assistance prompt diagnosis prostate. Irrespective size or patient’s age, 25% cut off value set less free PSA level percentage suggested for cases with values amid 4.1 and 10 ng/ml; This helps detecting cancers 95% prevent 20% unnecess...

Background: Recently, modification of T cells with chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) has been an attractive approach for adoptive immunotherapy of cancers. Typically, CARs contain a single-chain variable domain fragment (scFv). Most often, scfvs are derived from a monoclonal antibody of murine origin and may be a trigger for host immune system that leads to the T-cell clearance. Nanobody is a spe...

OBJECTIVES To assess the use of post-salvage radiotherapy prostate-specific antigen for early prediction of biochemical failure or clinical recurrence after salvage radiotherapy in recurrent prostate cancer patients after prostatectomy. METHODS From 2000 to 2011, 164 patients were treated with salvage radiotherapy alone for recurrent prostate cancer. Patients who received androgen deprivation...

PURPOSE We examined the influences of age, body mass index and waist circumference on prostate specific antigen before and after adjusting for prostate volume. We also examined associations among age, body mass index, waist circumference and prostate volume. MATERIALS AND METHODS We analyzed 38,380 Korean men 30 to 79 years old who received regular checkups at our health examination center. W...

PURPOSE Prostate specific antigen velocity 2.0 ng/ml per year or greater in the year before prostate cancer diagnosis is associated with cancer specific survival following radical prostatectomy and radiation therapy. We evaluated the relationship between prediagnosis prostate specific antigen velocity and cancer progression following primary radiation therapy. MATERIALS AND METHODS We analyze...

Cancer is among the leading causes of death and an important barrier to improving life expectancy globally. Prostate cancer second most common in men worldwide. The detection biomarkers body fluids key topic for diagnosis prognosis prostate cancer. Despite advances methods, therapeutic agents new biomarkers, remains a serious challenge. Prostate-specific antigen (PSA) widely recognized as bioma...

PURPOSE We assessed whether dutasteride enhances the usefulness of total prostate specific antigen for diagnosing clinically significant prostate cancer. MATERIALS AND METHODS The 4-year REDUCE study evaluated the efficacy and safety of 0.5 mg dutasteride daily for prostate cancer risk reduction in men with a prostate specific antigen of 2.5 to 10.0 ng/ml and a negative prostate biopsy. Speci...
