What Should Be the Prostate Specific Antigen Threshold for Prostate Biopsy? [PDF]
Haseki Tıp Bülteni, 2017 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.

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.

Molecular Profiling of Prostate Cancer Patients [PDF]
, 2009 In the UK, more than 30 000 men are diagnosed annually with prostate cancer (PCa) and about 10 000 men die from it each year. Although several molecular markers have been associated with prostate cancer development and/ or progression, only few of them

Evaluation of Phage Display Discovered Peptides as Ligands for Prostate-Specific Membrane Antigen (PSMA) [PDF]
, 2013 The aim of this study was to identify potential ligands of PSMA suitable for further development as novel PSMA-targeted peptides using phage display technology. The human PSMA protein was immobilized as a target followed by incubation with a 15-mer phage

CUT-OFF POINT OF PSA AND PSA DENSITY IN PROSTATE CANCER SUSPECTED PATIENTS
Jurnal Urologi Indonesia, 2016 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.

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]
, 2003 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.

Complexed Prostate-specific Antigen and the “Prostate-specific Antigen Gap” [PDF]
Clinical Chemistry, 1999 Jung et al. (1) reported an apparent gap between total serum prostate-specific antigen (t-PSA) and the sum of free PSA (f-PSA) plus α1-antichymotrypsin-PSA (ACT-PSA) in patients with prostate carcinoma (PCa) but not in those with benign prostatic hypertrophy (BPH).

Tumor Biology, 1999 Approximately 40% of the prostate-specific antigen (PSA) purified from seminal fluid comprises cleaved or fragmented forms of PSA. These fragments are observed by reduced SDS-PAGE and have been identified in preparations of purified seminal plasma. The comparative analysis of 53 antibodies, submitted to an international PSA Workshop, with different PSA
