Study of Correlation between Prostate Specific Antigen and Matrix Metalloproteinase-2 Activity in Benign and Malignant Prostate Hyperplasia
There are emerging data on novel tumor markers such as matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2 or gelatinase-A), which play a key role in tissue invasion and metastasis. We designed an investigation to assess the usefulness of MMP-2 activity as compared to prostate specific antigen (PSA) in cancer staging process. We have analyzed the circulating form of MMP-2 in serum samples of patients suffering f...
متن کاملmolecular detection of prostate specific antigen in patients with prostate cancer or benign prostate hyperplasia the first investigation from iran
prostate cancer is the second common form of cancer in men. detection of circulating prostate specific antigen (psa) transcripts has effectively been used for early diagnosis of prostate cancer cells. this investigation employed a reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (rt-pcr) technique to distinguish the patients with either localized or metastatic prostate cancer (cap) vs. benign pr...
متن کاملComparative analysis of resected prostate weight in diabetic and non-diabetic benign prostatic hyperplasia patients
Background: Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is the most common benign tumor in men. The etiology of BPH is still unresolved and multiple systems are likely to be involved. The effects of diabetes on urinary system are a risk factor for BPH. We then assessed the effects of diabetes on the parameters related to BPH, especially weight and volume. Methods: This study was conducted on patients...
متن کاملEvaluation of Plasma Interleukin-8 Concentration in Patients with Prostate Cancer and Benign Prostate Hyperplasia
Background: Prostate specific antigen (PSA) has been used as a screening test for the early detection of prostate cancer (PC) for many years. Although the introduction of PSA test led to a considerable increase in reported prostate cancer cases, there is still some controversy over the sensitivity and specificity of this marker in distinguishing PC patients from those with benign prostate hyper...
متن کاملRelationship of age, prostate-specific antigen, and prostate volume in Indonesian men with benign prostatic hyperplasia
BACKGROUND To investigate the relationship between age, prostate specific antigen (PSA), and prostate volume (PV) in Indonesian men with histologically proven benign prostatic hyperplasia. METHODS Data were generated from our BPH database from June 1994 until December 2013. Subjects were men with a minimum age of 40 years with chief complaint of LUTS or urinary retention, diagnosed with BPH. ...
