Serum PSA and Percent Free PSA Value Changes after Antibiotic Treatment [PDF]
Urologia Internationalis, 2008 <i>Introduction:</i> An association between inflammatory foci in prostatic tissues and elevated serum prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels has been a controversial issue. We studied the effects of antibiotics on elevated PSA levels to improve the diagnostic value of prostate cancer findings.

Artificial neural network (ANN) velocity better identifies benign prostatic hyperplasia but not prostate cancer compared with PSA velocity [PDF]
, 2008 Background To validate an artificial neural network (ANN) based on the combination of PSA velocity (PSAV) with a %free PSA-based ANN to enhance the discrimination between prostate cancer (PCa) and benign prostate hyperplasia (BPH).

Comparison of prostate-specific antigen (PSA) measured by four combinations of free PSA and total PSA assays [PDF]
Clinical Chemistry, 1997 Abstract We compared prostate-specific antigen (PSA) assay systems [i.e., free PSA (f-PSA) and the corresponding total PSA (t-PSA) assay] from four different manufacturers as well as the f-PSA/t-PSA ratios with regard to their ability to discriminate between benign prostate hyperplasia (BPH) and prostate cancer (PCA). ROC analysis showed
