Evaluation of prostate-specific antigen testing: An empirical survey of laboratories in Nigerian tertiary care centers

open access: yesInternational Journal of Medicine and Health Development, 2022
Background: Prostate-specific antigen (PSA) testing has been recommended for prostate cancer screening by the World Health Organization. The combined use of total and free PSA and digital rectal examination is said to improve the sensitivity and ...

Predictive value of standard serum markers for bone metastases in prostate cancer

open access: yesAfrican Journal of Urology, 2021
Background The early detection of bone metastases is very important in prostate cancer follow-up. This study aimed to compare conventional tumor markers, namely free prostate-specific antigen (free PSA), total prostate-specific antigen (total PSA), free ...

Serum total PSA and free PSA in breast tumors [PDF]

open access: yesIndian Journal of Clinical Biochemistry, 2011
Now a days measurement of molecular forms of PSA has gained importance in clinical practice. Several studies have demonstrated the production of PSA in female tissues, such as breast. The present piece of work has been undertaken with an objective to estimate the relative proportion of the molecular forms of PSA in serum along with serum testosterone ...

Is serum PSA a predictor of male hypogonadism? Testing the hypothesis

open access: yesArchives of Endocrinology and Metabolism, 2021
Objective: Male hypogonadism (MH) is common among infertile men. Besides testosterone, limited MH biomarkers are available, while researchers have suggested the use of prostate-specific antigen (PSA) to help diagnose MH.

Prostate-specific antigen increase after urethral catheterisation: fact or myth

open access: yesAfrican Journal of Urology, 2021
Background To find out any association of urethral catheterisation with rise in serum PSA. Methods This study was conducted in 80 patients of BPH who had to undergo catheterisation because of acute urinary retention. Patients were divided into two groups:

A new modification of the chiron ACS assay for total prostate-specific antigen achieves equimolar response characteristics and improves the detection of prostate cancer [PDF]

open access: yes, 2003
Nonequimolar-response assays for prostate-specific antigen (PSA) are criticized for overestimating total PSA in some men without prostate cancer (PCA), and underestimating total PSA in some men with PCA.

High grade intraepithelial neoplasia of prostate is associated with values of prostate specific antigen related parameters intermediate between prostate cancer and normal levels

open access: yesBiomolecules & Biomedicine, 2011
High grade prostatic intraepithelial neoplasia (HGPIN) is widely regarded as the precancerous. The aim of this study was to determine PSA related parameters in patients with initial PSA values 2-10 ng/mL and diagnosis of HGPIN without finding carcinoma ...
