چکیده
The aim of the study was to clarify whether serum levels of proinflammatory cytokine interleukin-6 (IL-6) could be a useful marker in prostate diseases. Serum IL-6 was determined prior to prostate biopsy procedure in 82 patients with prostate adenocarcinoma (PCa), 25 patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), 24 patients with high-grade prostatic intraepithelial neoplasia (PIN) and 17 patients with chronic prostatitis. Serum IL-6 levels were compared with total PSA (tPSA), free PSA (fPSA) and the free/total ratio (f/tPSA) serum levels. Statistically significant difference was not found in serum IL-6 levels among the four groups (p = 0.088). However, the patients with poorly differentiated PCa with Gleason score (GS) 4 + 3 = 7 and > 7 had significantly higher serum IL-6 levels than the patients with moderately differentiated PCa with GS 3 + 4 = 7 and < 7 (p = 0.007). The findings suggest that serum IL-6 level might be a potentially useful marker for poorly differentiated PCa.

Abstract Background: Regarding the variety of tests present for detecting and also screening prostate cancer and also bearing in mind the advantages and disadvantages of these tests we decided to re-evaluate these tests (total prostate specific antigen and all of its modifications) in detecting prostate cancer in men with intermediate serum PSAlevels. Methods: Following a cross se...

Background: In recent years the use of Prostate Specific Antigen test (PSA) has reduced the mortality rate of prostate cancer. Certain factors by affecting the levels of PSA, decrease or increase prostate cancer detection. Some studies suggest the effect of body weight and Body Mass Index (BMI) on PSA, while some others are contrary to the opinion mentioned.. Hence, in this study we ex...

Introduction: Prostatic specific antigen (PSA) is an excellent tumor marker, but it is not specific for prostate cancer. We evaluated the accuracy of PSA adjusted for transition zone volume calculated by transrectal ultrasonography in predicting prostate cancer in men compared with PSA density. Material and Methods: PSA adjusted for transition zone volume was obtained from 100 patients who u...

BACKGROUND There is growing evidence describing an association of hK2 and IGFs with cancer. The aim of this study is to investigate the differences in serum levels of hK2 and IGFs in a large group of patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) or prostatic carcinoma (CaP) and to examine the value of these variables, as well as their various combinations with PSA, for discriminating between...
