Prostate-Specific Antigen [PDF]
Prostate cancer is a highly prevalent disease that is characterized by a wide range of aggressiveness, ranging from the clinically irrelevant to the rapidly progressive, lethally metastatic. Since its introduction as a serum test in the late 1980s, prostate-specific antigen (PSA) has been increasingly promulgated as an important biomarker for prostate ...

Background: Prostate-specific antigen density has been suggested to enhance the diagnostic efficacy of serum prostate-specific antigen alone in detecting prostate cancer, thereby reducing unnecessary biopsies and associated morbidities.

Prostate-specific antigen (PSA) has revolutionized the diagnosis and management of men with prostate cancer. Significant advances have been made since the early development of immunoassays. While PSA is useful for staging and monitoring of established disease, it has shown the greatest utility in the realm of early detection realm.

The goal of this study was to investigate the clinical application of free/total prostate-specific antigen (F/T PSA) ratio, considering the new broad serum total PSA (T-PSA) “gray zone” of 2.0–25.0 ng ml−1 in differential diagnosis of prostate cancer ...

Body mass index in relation to prostate-specific antigen-related parameters
Background Only a few previous studies conducted to assess the association between body mass index (BMI) and prostate-specific antigen (PSA) related parameters have taken prostate volume (PV) and blood volume (BV) into consideration.

CUT-OFF POINT OF PSA AND PSA DENSITY IN PROSTATE CANCER SUSPECTED PATIENTS
Objective: In Hasan Sadikin General Hospital Bandung prostate biopsy is recommended for patients with prostate specific antigen (PSA) levels above 10 ng/mL or PSA density (PSAD) above 0.15 if PSA in between 4–10 ng/mL.

Racial differences exist in the incidence of prostate cancer (PCa). Although many studies have looked at the performance of prostate-specific antigen (PSA) and PSA density (PSAD) in the detection of PCa, only a few have looked at it in relation to ...

In Western countries, clinical trials on prostate cancer screening demonstrated a limited benefit for patient survival. In the Asia-Pacific region, including Japan, the rate of prostate-specific antigen (PSA) testing remains very low compared with ...
