Age specific reference levels of serum prostate-specific antigen, prostate volume and prostate specific antigen density in healthy Iranian men.

Iranian journal of immunology : IJI, 2009
It is relevant to highlight that there is not a precise and perfect report on either 95 percentile value (upper limit of normal range) or on appropriate reference intervals for serum PSA in Iranian population.To determine age-specific reference ranges for serum prostate-specific antigen (PSA) concentration and PSA density (PSAD) and prostate volumes in

PSA density improves the rate of prostate cancer detection in Chinese men with a PSA between 2.5-10.0 ng ml -1 and 10.1-20.0 ng ml -1 : a multicenter study

Asian Journal of Andrology, 2015
Chinese men should have a higher prostate-specific antigen (PSA) "gray zone" than the traditional value of 2.5-10.0 ng ml−1 since the incidence of prostate cancer (PCa) in Chinese men is relative low. We hypothesized that PSA density (PSAD) could improve

Association between prostate-specific antigen density and prostate cancer prediction among Nigerian men

Ibom Medical Journal
Background: Prostate - specific antigen density (PSAD) has been shown as a valuable diagnostic and predictive tool for prostate cancer. Objectives: To ascertain the utility of PSAD in predicting prostate cancer in patients with PSA > 4 .0 ng/ml ...

Relationship between serum prostate-specific antigen and transrectal prostate sonographic findings in asymptomatic Ugandan males

African Journal of Urology, 2021
Background Prostate disorders are among the leading causes of morbidity and mortality in men above the age of 40 years globally. Serum prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels may be used to screen men at risk of prostate cancer and determine choice of ...

Metabolic syndrome as an independent determinant of prostate volume in elderly males over 60 years [PDF]

Journal of Men's Health
Background: There is a high incidence of metabolic syndrome (MS) and prostate disease in elderly males over 60 years old. This study aimed to investigate the influence of MS on prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels, prostate volume (PV) and PSA ...

Nomogram for predicting the probability of the positive outcome of prostate biopsies among Ghanaian men

African Journal of Urology, 2018
Introduction and objectives: Several existing models have been developed to predict positive prostate biopsy among men undergoing evaluation for prostate cancer (PCa). However, most of these models have come from industrialized countries.
