An investigation into minichromosomal maintenance proteins (MCMs) for the diagnosis of prostate cancer, as a possible alternative to prostate specific antigen (PSA) [PDF]

, 2005
The current strategy for the diagnosis of prostate cancer includes serum prostate specific antigen (PSA) measurement. There is however debate into its specificity and sensitivity, so new diagnostic markers are under investigation.

Evaluation of Cutoff Point Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA) and Prostate Specific Antigen Density (PSAD) in Patients with Suspected Prostate Cancer. [PDF]

Med Arch
Background: Prostate cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death in men worldwide. There is no national standard for PSA cut-off levels even through the transrectal prostate biopsy procedure causes many serious complications such as bleeding, infection, and sepsis.

Usefulness of prostate specific antigen density in detecting prostate carcinoma: A hospital-based study in patients with prostate biopsies

Journal of Pathology of Nepal, 2022
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 Additional Value of Free Prostate Specific Antigen to the Battery of Age-Dependent Prostate-Specific Antigen, Prostate-Specific Antigen Density and Velocity [PDF]

Clinical Chemistry and Laboratory Medicine, 1997
This study describes the value of using the fraction of free prostate-specific antigen as a further marker in the early detection of prostate cancer. This newly introduced marker is compared to the usual battery of age-dependent total prostate-specific antigen, prostate-specific antigen density (microg/l x g tissue) and prostate-specific antigen ...

Body mass index in relation to prostate-specific antigen-related parameters

BMC Urology, 2021
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.
