Abstract:

Background and Objective: Prostate cancer is among the five common cancers in males. It is second cancer in terms of the age-standardized rate (ASR) (ASR=16.6) in Iran. The rs2735839 G/A, an intergenic polymorphism is located on chromosome 19q13.33 at 600 base pairs of the KLK3 gene untranslatable region. This gene which codes prostate-specific antigen (PSA) is used in the screening and diagnosis of prostate cancer. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the association between this polymorphism and prostate adenocarcinoma with PSA. Materials and Methods: This case-control study included 103 and 100 patients with prostate adenocarcinoma and benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) as case and control groups, respectively. Tetra-primer amplification refractory mutation system-polymerase chain reaction was used to determine the genotype of each participant regarding rs2735839 polymorphism. Results: There was a significant difference between the adenocarcinoma prostate and BPH groups regarding genotype frequency AG+AA (OR [95% CI]=4.991 [2.475-10.065], P=0.00). According to the results of statistical analysis, a significant difference was observed between the adenocarcinoma and BPH groups in terms of allele frequency (OR [95% CI]=3.927 [2.085-7.397], P=0.00). Moreover, There was a significant difference between rs2735839 and PSA regarding the genotype frequency polymorphism (P=0.011). Conclusion: The results indicate that rs2735839 is associated with an increased risk of prostate cancer in Iranian population. It is worth noting that a significant difference was found between the distribution of allele A and that of allele G with PSA levels of >10.

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...

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...

Association between Human Papillomavirus Infection and Risk of Prostate Cancer

  Human papillomavirus (HPV) is one of the most common causes of sexually transmitted diseases worldwide and is the etiological agent of cervical and other anogenital malignancies. Since HPVs have been shown to possess oncogenic potential, an association between HPV infection and prostatic cancer (PCa) has been suggested. There are conflicting reports on the impact of HPV infection on the deve...

Prostate specific antigen staining intensity in prostatic adenocarcinoma correlates with serum prostate specific antigen , Bandar Abbas, Iran

Introduction: Prostatic adenocarcinoma is one the most common malignances and the second cause of death in males due to cancer. Prostate Specific Antigen (PZSA) serum level is the first marker to screen such patients. We aimed in this study, to assess the intensity of prostatic adenocarcinoma tissue staining with PSA staining method. Methods: In this corss-sectional study, prostatic adenocarcin...
