Prostate-Specific Antigen, Digital Rectal Examination and Transrectal Ultrasonography: A Meta-Analysis for This Diagnostic Triad of Prostate Cancer in Symptomatic Korean Men
We conducted a meta-analysis using results from the Korean literature to determine whether prostate-specific antigen (PSA) or digital rectal examination (DRE) or transrectal ultrasonography (TRUS) provides a better diagnostic outcome for possible prostate cancer patients. An extensive literature search of MedRIC database et al. (1980 to 2003) was performed using the medical subject headings "PS...
متن کاملSensitivity and Specificty of Transrectal Ultrasonography in Diagnosing Prostate Cancer
Objective: To determine the sensitivity and specificity of detecting prostate cancer by TRUS when compared to histopathology report. Subjects and Methods: This cross-sectional analytical study was carried out within six months from October 2010 to March 2011 in the Department of Radiology/Histopathology, Shaikh Zayed Hospital Lahore. One hundred and ten patients, age above 40 years having abnor...
متن کاملProstate-Specific Antigen versus Digital Rectal Examination in the Diagnosis of Prostate Cancer
Prostate cancer is the most commonly diagnosed non-cutaneous cancer and the third most common cause of death from cancer in males in the US. An increasing life expectancy in male population and increasing use of prostatespecific antigen (PSA) for early detection of the disease are probably the two main factors accounting for higher detection rate. The DRE is still the basis in the suspicion of ...
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 کاملMeta-analysis of prostate-specific antigen and digital rectal examination as screening tests for prostate carcinoma.
BACKGROUND Physicians commonly screen for prostate cancer by using prostate-specific antigen (PSA) and digital rectal examination (DRE). The usefulness of these screening mechanisms is not well established, however. A meta-analysis of PSA and DRE to detect prostate carcinoma was conducted with a focus on sensitivity, specificity, and positive predictive value. METHODS A literature search of O...
