A commentary on PSA velocity and doubling time for clinical decisions in prostate cancer.
Although the value of prostate-specific antigen (PSA) velocity or doubling time has never been seriously questioned for aiding the clinical management of recurrent or advanced cancer, there has historically been considerable uncertainty about PSA kinetics for decisions about biopsy and initial treatment. Recent studies, including analyses of cohorts from all the major randomized trials of local...
متن کاملpsa in early diagnosis of prostate cancer
we report our experience with 124 patients were referred 70 our urology clinic in sina hospital for urinary retention. serum psa analyzed by using a monoclonal assay. all patients underwent digital rectal examination. the patients devided in 3 groups: group 1 (87 men) with a serum psa level less than 4 ng/ml, group 2 (26 men) with a serum psa level 4-10 ng/ml and group 3 (11 men) with a serum p...
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 کاملDescribing Prostate Cancer Dynamics: Second Look at PSA-Doubling Time and PSA-Specific Growth Rate
Physicians responsible for patient care focus on readily available clinical and trending labo‐ ratory data to help direct the patient’s clinical course and evaluate efficacy of therapy. Most clinicians fail to incorporate newer parameters of tumor response such as tumor growth rate when evaluating patient treatment response. Available now, is a wealth of dynamic growth parameters that shed new ...
متن کاملThe optimal timing to perform 18F/11C-choline PET/CT in patients with suspicion of relapse of prostate cancer: trigger PSA versus PSA velocity and PSA doubling time.
In the present short communication we considered the main publications focused on trigger prostate-specific antigen (PSA) and PSA kinetics that systematically compared 18F to 11C-choline PET/CT in order to establish the optimal time to perform choline PET/CT in relation to the trigger values and velocity, as well as doubling time of PSA serum levels.
