Urinary PSA level and relative tumor volume after prostate biopsy.
OBJECTIVES To estimate the ratio between urinary prostate specific antigen (uPSA) and tumor volume after prostate biopsy. METHODS From 2000 to July 2008, uPSA concentration was determined in 60 patients with clinically organ-confined prostate cancer (PCa). All patients underwent six-area transrectal ultrasound (TRUS)--guided biopsy, with at least 12 biopsy cores. Single pathologist determined...
متن کاملEasy method of assessing volume of prostate adenocarcinoma from estimated tumor area: using prostate tissue density to bridge gap between percentage involvement and tumor volume.
AIM To determine prostate carcinoma tumor volume in routine pathology practice by using prostate tissue density. METHODS Prostate tissue density was determined experimentally by using picnometry in 57 unfixed prostate tissue fragments of different size. The percentage of prostate involvement was converted to tumor volume using the equation V=m/rho (g/mL). Additionally, all tumor foci were out...
متن کاملDo tumor volume, percent tumor volume predict biochemical recurrence after radical prostatectomy? A meta-analysis.
The aim of this meta-analysis was to explore the effects of tumor volume (TV) and percent tumor volume (PTV) on biochemical recurrence (BCR) after radical prostatectomy (RP). An electronic search of Medline, Embase and CENTRAL was performed for relevant studies. Studies evaluated the effects of TV and/or PTV on BCR after RP and provided detailed results of multivariate analyses were included. C...
متن کاملPretreatment Tumor Volume Estimation Based on Total Serum PSA in Patients with Localized Prostate Cancer
OBJECTIVES To establish a formula that estimates tumor volume in localized prostate cancer based on serum prostate specific antigen levels. One of the main prognostic variables in localized prostate cancer is tumor volume, which can be precisely defined only after prostate extirpation. The present study defines a simple method that allows for estimation of tumor volume before treatment, which c...
متن کاملAutomatic Segmentation of the Gross Tumor Volume in Prostate Carcinoma Using Fuzzy Clustering in Gallium-68 PSMA PET/CT Scan
Introduction: Modern radiotherapy (RT) techniques allow a highly precise deposition of the radiation dose in tumor. So, high conformal tumor doses can be reached while sparing critical organs at risk. Materials and Methods: This study was conducted in three phases. In the first phase; Fourteen patients with primary or recurrent prostate cancer receive Gallium-...
