Comparison of prostate-specific antigen (PSA) measured by four combinations of free PSA and total PSA assays.
We compared prostate-specific antigen (PSA) assay systems [i.e., free PSA (f-PSA) and the corresponding total PSA (t-PSA) assay] from four different manufacturers as well as the f-PSA/t-PSA ratios with regard to their ability to discriminate between benign prostate hyperplasia (BPH) and prostate cancer (PCA). ROC analysis showed similar areas under the curves (AUCs) with different assay systems...
متن کاملAFSSAPS market survey of total PSA, free PSA and complexed PSA assay kits.
assays for prostate cancer screening, Afssaps has conducted, in the context of its mission, a market survey of devices indicating quantitative results. The objective of this survey was to evaluate the analytical performances of these assays, particularly to verify the accuracy of total PSA, free PSA and complexed PSA assay kits and to study the equimolarity of total PSA reagents in the analogou...
متن کاملStandardization of prostate-specific antigen (PSA) assays: can interchangeability of PSA measurements be improved?
The landscape of prostate cancer has changed since the appearance of the first prostate-specific antigen (PSA) assay. PSA testing has gained rapid recognition since M. Kuriyama et al. (1 ) of Roswell Park first reported clinical studies using an enzyme immunoassay with anti-PSA rabbit antibody. Mikolajczyk and coworkers (2, 3) reported the presence of several free PSA isoforms and the potential...
متن کاملRole of Serum Total PSA (Prostate Specific Antigen) and Free to Total PSA Ratio in the Diagnosis of Carcinoma Prostate
The objective of the study was to evaluate and compare the role of total and free/total ratio of serum prostate specific antigen level in diagnosing carcinoma prostate. A cross sectional study was conducted at the Department of Biochemistry, Dhaka Medical College (DMC) with collaboration of the Department of Urology, Dhaka Medical College Hospital (DMCH), Dhaka from July 2008 to June 2009. This...
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...
