Prostate-specific antigen kinetics after hypofractionated stereotactic body radiotherapy for localized prostate cancer
Background: stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) has emerged as an effective treatment for localized prostate cancer. However, prostate-specific antigen (PSA) kinetics after SBRT has not been well characterized. The objective of the current study is to analyze the rate of PSA decline and PSA nadir following hypofractonated SBRT in localized prostate cancer. Materials and Methods: From 2008...
متن کاملAge Specific Reference Levels of Serum Prostate-Specific Antigen, Prostate Volume and Prostate Specific Antigen Density in Healthy Iranian Men
Background: 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. Objective: To determine age-specific reference ranges for serum prostate-specific antigen (PSA) concentration and PSA density (PSAD) and prostate volumes in a population of he...

متن کاملAssociation between prostate specific antigen change over time and prostate cancer recurrence risk: a joint model
Background: Prostate specific antigen (PSA) is an important biomarker to monitor patients after treated with radiation therapy (RT). The aim of this study is to evaluate the relationship between the PSA data and prostate cancer recurrence using the joint modeling. Methods: This historical cohort study was performed on 422 prostate cancer patients. Inclusion criteria included: patients with loc...
متن کاملTransrectal ultrasonography of the prostate.
Transrectal prostatic ultrasonography has been performed in 203 patients within the last year. This new diagnostic modality has proven reliable in quantitating decrease in volume of the primary tumor following therapy in 71% of patients with prostatic carcinoma (10 of 14 patients) in whom long-term follow-up is available. In 12 patients staged prior to radical prostatectomy, prostatic ultrasono...
