Serum levels of prostate-specific antigen among Japanese-American and native Japanese men.
BACKGROUND Fourfold to sixfold higher prostate cancer rates in Japanese-American men in the United States compared with Japanese men in Japan have been cited to support a role for environmental risk factors in the etiology of the disease. To examine the hypothesis that part or all of the elevated prostate cancer rates in Japanese-American men may reflect more intensive prostate cancer screening...
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 کاملAssociation of Obesity and Diabetes with Serum Prostate-specific Antigen Levels in Japanese Males
Patients with diabetes have been reported to be at an increased risk for cancers of the pancreas, liver, and colon; however, recent studies have suggested that men with diabetes are at a decreased risk for prostate cancer. Previous studies have found that obese men have lower serum prostate-specific antigen (PSA) concentrations than do non-obese men. Further understanding of how obesity and dia...
متن کاملHemodilution of prostate-specific antigen levels among obese men.
To the Editor: A recent article by Grubb and colleagues (1) shows that the inverse relationship between prostate-specific antigen (PSA) test results and body mass index (BMI) among men from the Prostate, Lung, Colorectal, and Ovarian Cancer Screening Trial can be explained by the higher blood volume in the obese, an effect called hemodilution (2). Their finding is consistent with our analyses i...
