Determining Penetration of Prostate-Specific Antigen Screening Recommendations

Age 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...

Prostate-Specific Antigen-Based Prostate Cancer Screening

Serum prostate-specific antigen (PSA) testing is a simple and effective method for diagnosing prostate cancer. The widespread PSA screening resulted in increased diagnosis of early-staged, localized prostate cancer and marked reduction in advanced, metastatic cancer, which contributed to subsequent reduction in prostate cancer mortality. Most patients with localized prostate cancer, especially ...

Prostate specific antigen staining intensity in prostatic adenocarcinoma correlates with serum prostate specific antigen , Bandar Abbas, Iran

Introduction: Prostatic adenocarcinoma is one the most common malignances and the second cause of death in males due to cancer. Prostate Specific Antigen (PZSA) serum level is the first marker to screen such patients. We aimed in this study, to assess the intensity of prostatic adenocarcinoma tissue staining with PSA staining method. Methods: In this corss-sectional study, prostatic adenocarcin...

effect of ejaculation on serum prostate specific antigen level in screening and non-screening population

background: the serum prostate specific antigen (psa) levels are used for prostate cancer screening. some conditions such as prostatitis, manipulation, and prostate cancer could influence on serum psa. the impact of ejaculation on serum psa is controversial. the aim of our study was to evaluate the relation of ejaculation and the levels of serum psa. materials and methods: in this cross-section...
