Prostate-specific antigen testing in men aged 40-64 years: impact of publication of clinical trials.
We assessed the impact of the publication of trials and changes in recommendations on the rates of prostate-specific antigen (PSA) screening in men aged 40 to 64 years by analyzing monthly medical claims for PSA testing in a commercial insurance database from 2001 to 2011, covering more than 1.5 million men in each year. The testing rates for men aged 40 to 49 years, 50 to 59 years, and 60 to 6...
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 کاملWhat Prevents Men Aged 40–64 Years from Prostate Cancer Screening in Namibia?
Objectives. Although a growing body of evidence demonstrates the public health burden of prostate cancer in SSA, relatively little is known about the underlying factors surrounding the low levels of testing for the disease in the context of this region. Using Namibia Demographic Health Survey dataset (NDHS, 2013), we examined the factors that influence men's decision to screen for prostate canc...
متن کاملProstate-specific antigen testing of older men.
BACKGROUND Elevated serum prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels are predictive of a future diagnosis of prostate cancer. To test the hypothesis that older men with low PSA levels may require less intensive PSA testing because of a reduced prostate cancer detection rate, we evaluated the association between age, baseline PSA level, and prostate cancer detection. METHODS We conducted a prospec...
متن کاملAnalysis of serum prostate-specific antigen levels in men aged 40 years and older in Yasuj, Iran.
INTRODUCTION Serum prostate-specific antigen (PSA) is still the simplest marker for early diagnosis and follow-up of prostate cancer. Because racial differences in PSA levels have been found, we performed this study to determine the reference level of serum PSA for men in Yasuj, in southwest Iran. MATERIALS AND METHODS Men aged 40 years and older who had been referred to any of the Yasuj hosp...
