Histopathological findings in extended prostate biopsy with PSA < or = 4 ng/mL.
OBJECTIVE Cancer detection has been reported in up to 27% of patients when lowering the PSA cutoff to 2.5 ng/mL. Although this practice could increase the number of biopsies performed, it also could lead to more frequent detection of significant prostate cancers at an organ-confined stage and/or a less aggressive state. This study describes the incidence of malignancy and tumor characteristics ...
متن کاملPSA Screening in Prostate Cancer
Introduction: Prostate cancer is one of the most common cancers in Iranian men. PSA(prostate specific antigen) screening is a controversial issue because PSA screening leads to diagnose of patients with low risk prostate cancer who not only do not benefit from treatment but also suffer from complication caused by treatment. On the other hand, without prostate cancer screening, the rate of meta...
متن کاملAssessment of PSA-Age volume score in predicting positive prostate biopsy findings in Turkey
OBJECTIVES To evaluate PSA-age volume (AV) scores in predicting positive prostate biopsy findings in Turkey. MATERIALS AND METHODS PSA-AV was calculated by multiplying the patient's age by the prostate volume and dividing it by the PSA level. Sensitivities and specificities of the PSA-AV were assessed by retrospective analysis of findings from 4,717 prostate biopsies. RESULTS The population...
متن کاملEvaluation of novel formula of PSA, age, prostate volume, and race in predicting positive prostate biopsy findings.
OBJECTIVE To develop a formula that incorporates age, prostate volume, race, and prostate-specific antigen (PSA) level into a single score for prostate cancer detection. MATERIALS AND METHODS We developed a PSA-age volume (AV) score by multiplying the patient age by the prostate volume and dividing it by the PSA level. The PSA-AV was developed using 1000 prostate biopsy specimens and was vali...
متن کاملExploring the Effect of PSA Density and Prostate Size on Concordance of TRUS Biopsy Result with Radical Prostatectomy
Background and Objective: Today’s, the Gleason grading system is well known as the world’s most commonly used histological system for prostate cancer. It provides significant information about the prognosis. This prospective paper assessed the correlation of transrectal ultrasound (TRUS) guided biopsy and radical prostatectomy specimens in terms of Gleason scores. In this matter, the effect of ...
