PSA 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 کاملProstate-specific antigen (PSA) and PSA density: racial differences in men without prostate cancer.
BACKGROUND Many physicians now use serum prostate-specific antigen (PSA) to screen for prostate cancer in asymptomatic men. Whether or not a prostate biopsy should also be performed depends on an accurate definition of what constitutes a normal PSA value. Until recently, studies conducted to establish normal serum PSA values have involved study populations that have included few African-America...
متن کاملPSA density and prostate cancer detection.
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the diagnostic value of prostate-specific antigen density (PSAD) and the appropriate cutoff for the detection of prostate cancer. MATERIAL AND METHOD Between January 2008 and March 2011, 292 men with PSA levels between 4 and 10 ng/mL underwent transrectal ultrasonography (TRUS) with prostate biopsy. The diagnostic value of PSA levels and PSAD were compared using receiver...
متن کاملPSA density and PSA transition zone density in the diagnosis of prostate cancer in PSA gray zone cases.
This study assessed the efficacy of prostate specific antigen density (PSAD) and PSA transition zone density (PSATZ) in predicting prostate cancer in men with PSA levels of 4.0-10.0 ng/ml. Between July 1996 and July 2000, PSAD and PSATZ were determined in 202 patients who underwent ultrasonography-guided systemic sextant biopsies plus 2 transitional zone biopsies. Of the 202 patients, 27 (13.4%...
متن کاملprostate-specific antigen (psa) density and free to total psa ratio in diagnosing prostate cancer with prostate-specific anti¬gen levels of 4.0 ng/ml or less
background: we aimed to value the usefulness of free to total prostate-specific antigen and prostate-specific antigen (psa) density for prostate cancer in the patients with psa levels of 4.0 ng/ml or less. methods: a total of 343 subjects with psa levels of 4.0 ng/ml or less were biopsied. all patients were divided into four groups according to the psa levels: 0 to 1.0 ng/ml, 1.1 to 2.0 ng/ml, ...
