What Should Be the Prostate Specific Antigen Threshold for Prostate Biopsy? [PDF]
Aim: There is still uncertainty today regarding the prostate specific antigen (PSA) threshold for prostate biopsy. From this point of view, we aimed to investigate the PSA threshold for prostate biopsy in this study.

Purpose: Prostate specific antigen and free prostate specific antigen have limited specificity to detect clinically significant, curable prostate cancer, leading to unnecessary biopsy, and detection and treatment of some indolent tumors.

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.

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 ...

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.

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.

Prostate-specific antigen velocity (PSAV) is widely used to detect PC and predict its progression. In this study, we qualitatively synthesized the currently available evidence from published studies regarding the PSAV role in PC.

The Efficiency of the Serum Prostate Specific Antigen Levels in Diagnosing Prostatic Enlargements [PDF]
Background: The objective of this study was to evaluate the serum PSA levels in patients presenting with enlarged prostate and to evaluate the efficiency of serum PSA to diagnose and differentiate benign and malignant enlargements.

Glycotyping of prostate specific antigen [PDF]
Measurement of serum levels of the prostate specific antigen (PSA) is now widely used for the diagnosis of prostate cancer and benign prostate hyperplasia. This serum marker is of value since it is derived only from the tissue of interest, but increased levels of PSA in serum do not allow a completely clear cut diagnosis of benign versus malignant ...

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]
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.
