Transrectal Ultrasonography Guided Prostate Biopsy in Evaluating Prostate Cancer with Histopathological Evaluation and Prostate Specific Antigen Correlation

histopathological lesions in transrectal ultrasound guided biopsies of prostate in patients with raised serum prostate specific antigen: a preliminary report

Age 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...

frequency of adenocarcinoma in transrectal ultrasound-guided prostate needle biopsies in men with clinical suspicion of prostate cancer and raised serum prostate specific antigen

background : a transrectal ultrasound-guided prostate biopsy is currently the gold standard procedure to detect prostatic adenocarcinoma. there is little information on the clinical utility of this technique for the detection of prostate adenocarcinoma in men with suspected prostate cancer in pakistan. this study seeks to determine the frequency of prostatic adenocarcinoma by using a transrecta...

Miliary Tuberculosis Following Transrectal Ultrasonography (TRUS)-Guided Prostate Biopsy

Miliary tuberculosis (TB) after transrectal ultrasonography (TRUS)-guided prostate biopsy is an extremely rare complication. A 75-year-old patient who presented with high fever and cough following TRUS-guided prostate biopsy for his high serum prostate-specific antigen (PSA) level (13.104 ng/ml) was diagnosed with miliary TB after clinical, laboratory, and radiological assessments. Histopatholo...

Association between prostate specific antigen change over time and prostate cancer recurrence risk: a joint model

Background: Prostate specific antigen (PSA) is an important biomarker to monitor patients after treated with radiation therapy (RT). The aim of this study is to evaluate the relationship between the PSA data and prostate cancer recurrence using the joint modeling. Methods: This historical cohort study was performed on 422 prostate cancer patients. Inclusion criteria included: patients with loc...
