Evaluation of Prostate specific antigen levels and its correlation with histopathological findings

Journal of Pathology of Nepal, 2019
Background: Prostate specific antigen is a tumor marker though is expressed by both normal and neoplastic prostate tissue. The absolute value of Prostate specific antigen is useful for determining the extent of prostate cancer and its treatment. Prostate

Biology of prostate-specific antigen

Urology, 2003
The human kallikrein (hk) family, located on chromosome 19, encodes prostate-specific antigen (PSA [or hK3]), hK2, hK4, and hK15 (prostin), as well as other serine proteases. Although PSA has been used in the detection of prostate cancer for several years, much remains unknown about its function and forms.

Decreasing trend in prostate cancer with high serum prostate-specific antigen levels detected at first prostate-specific antigen-based population screening in Japan

Asian Journal of Andrology, 2014
To clarify the recent trends in prostate-specific antigen (PSA) distribution in men in Japan, we analyzed the PSA distributions of men undergoing PSA-based population screening.

Prostate Specific Antigen: A review [PDF]

Acta Oncologica, 1991
Despite its identification in the 1970s, prostate specific antigen (PSA) has only recently gained widespread utility. In this review, we will describe significant aspects of the biochemistry of PSA, immunohistochemical applications, the effect of prostatic manipulation on the serum level of this analyte, and other considerations in the determination of

What Should Be the Prostate Specific Antigen Threshold for Prostate Biopsy?

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.

Relationship between serum prostate-specific antigen and age in cadavers

SAGE Open Medicine, 2020
Objectives: An increase in number of unidentified cadavers is a growing problem. To identify these cadavers, a simple objective method is required to estimate cadaveric age.

Prostatic specific antigen for prostate cancer detection [PDF]

International braz j urol, 2009
Prostate-specific antigen (PSA) has been used for prostate cancer detection since 1994. PSA testing has revolutionized our ability to diagnose, treat, and follow-up patients. In the last two decades, PSA screening has led to a substantial increase in the incidence of prostate cancer (PC).

Investigation of prostate specific antigen glycosylation [PDF]

Journal of the Serbian Chemical Society, 2000
In the present work, prostate specific antigen (PSA) glycosylation was examined by lectin affinity methods. The results obtained indicated that PSA purified from human seminal plasma contained at least one bianntenary N-linked oligosaccharide ...
