Prostate cancer is the most commonly diagnosed malignancy and second leading cause of cancer-related death for men in the United States. The introduction and routine use of serum prostate-specific antigen (PSA) testing in men at risk for the disease has led to significant changes in prostate cancer incidence, presentation and treatment. It is believed that these changes will eventually translat...
Part 1 of a two-part discussion of Prostate Cancer from an underwriting perspective, covers the epidemiology and screening for prostate cancer. Included is a "Primer on Screening Tests" that discusses problems with digital rectal exam (DRE) and prostate specific antigen (PSA) as screening tests. Approaches to enhancing the use of PSA for screening including age and race specific ranging, PSA de...
Percent free prostatic-specific antigen (%fPSA) has been introduced as a tool to avoid unnecessary biopsies in patients with a serum PSA level of 4.0-10.0 ng ml-1 , however, it remains controversial whether %fPSA is effective in PSA range of 10.1-20.0 ng ml-1 in both Chinese and Western population. In this study, the diagnostic performance of %fPSA and serum PSA in predicting prostate cancer (P...
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...
The discovery that PSA exists in serum in both free and complexed forms led to development of immunoassays specific for different PSA forms. This helped in measuring free PSA in the presence of PSA-ACT (PSA-alpha antichymotrypsin), hence it was possible to calculate the percent free PSA or free to total PSA ratio, measurement of which was helpful in reducing the number of unnecessary biopsies s...
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...
The [-2]proPSA (p2PSA) and its derivatives, the p2PSA-to-free PSA ratio (%p2PSA), and the Prostate Health Index (PHI) have greatly improved discrimination between men with and without prostate cancer (PCa) in prostate biopsies. However, little is known about their performance in cases where a digital rectal examination (DRE) and transrectal ultrasonography (TRUS) are negative. A prospective coh...
P antigen (PSA) is a serine protease produced by the prostate gland at very high concentrations. PSA is secreted into the seminal plasma in high concentrations (0.5 to 5 g/L), where it plays a role in semen liquefaction. The retrograde release of PSA into the bloodstream is a rare event in young, healthy men. It occurs with a frequency of less than one PSA molecule per million secreted PSA mole...
Total serum prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels, free-to-total PSA ratio (F/T ratio) and PSA density (PSAD) were compared to clarify the clinical significance of these parameters in the diagnosis of prostate cancer (CaP) with intermediate PSA concentrations (4-10 ng/ml). PSAD and F/T ratio were obtained during the period from May 1999 to April 2001 from 43 patients with serum PSA concentrati...
