Association between PSA values and surveillance quality after prostate cancer surgery
Background Although prostate‐specific antigen (PSA) testing is used for prostate cancer detection and posttreatment surveillance, thresholds in these settings differ.

Abstract Prostate cancer (PCa) is a multifaceted disease that envelops 1.41 million new cases globally. It is the second most common cancer reported in men. Its heterogeneity and indolent growth, coupled with incompetent early screening methods such as serum prostate‐specific antigen level estimations and digital rectal examinations, contribute to its ...

Increased levels of DNA methyltransferases are associated with the tumorigenic capacity of prostate cancer cells [PDF]
DNA methylation might be the earliest somatic genome changes in prostate cancer that also play an important role in the process of tumor invasion, growth and metastasis.

Abstract Background Prostate cancer (PCa) patients are at risk of developing second primary malignancies (SPMs), which can significantly shorten their survival. Understanding the risk of SPMs and associated factors is crucial to the optimization of patient follow‐up.

Accuracy of multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging to detect significant prostate cancer and index lesion location [PDF]
Background: Multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (mpMRI) of the prostate appears to improve prostate cancer detection, but studies comparing mpMRI to histopathology at the time of radical prostatectomy (RP) are lacking.

Quality of life effects of androgen deprivation therapy in a prostate cancer cohort in New Zealand: Can we minimize effects using a stratification based on the aldo-keto reductase family 1, member C3 rs12529 gene polymorphism? [PDF]
Background: Androgen deprivation therapy (ADT) is an effective palliation treatment in men with advanced prostate cancer (PC). However, ADT has well documented side effects that could alter the patient's health-related quality of life (HRQoL).

Epidemiology and organized testing for the diagnosis of prostate cancer in Sweden
Abstract Prostate cancer is the most diagnosed cancer and the leading cause of cancer‐related death among men in Sweden. The natural history and risk factors of prostate cancer, particularly within hereditary populations, have been extensively studied in the Swedish context. Despite the absence of national recommendations for prostate‐specific antigen (
