Some researchers advocate dropping the PSA threshold to 2.6 ng/ml, but this strategy might result in overdiagnosis and unnecessary intervention. Carter and colleagues suggest that the rate of increase in PSA level (PSA velocity) might detect life-threatening prostate cancer at a potentially curable ...
( 2006 ) Detection of life-threatening prostate cancer with prostate-specific antigen velocity during a window of curability . J Natl Cancer Inst 98 : 1521 – 1527 Serum PSA values >4.0 ng/ml are routinely used to select patients for prostate biopsy, although this approach misses some early-...
In the TME, the major protumor function of TAMs is the production of diverse cytokines and growth factors that support the survival and proliferation of cancer cells, suppress their apoptosis, and increase their migratory potential needed for cancer cell invasion and extravasation into the circulation...
Can complexed PSA improved the prostate cancer detection rate in men with a “non-suspicious” total PSA ange below 4 NG/ML? — Results of a multicenter trialCan complexed PSA improved the prostate cancer detection rate in men with a “non-suspicious” total PSA ange below 4 NG/ML? — Re...
Cancer syndrome is a condition where genetic mutations that increase the risk of cancer are inherited. Explore what cancer syndrome is and its role in cancer at a young age, discover some clues to help detect if cancer developed due to this condition, and take a look at the genetic risk fa...
men without symptoms provide very limited detail for us and our patients. It is unclear what should be done for men at higher risk of prostate cancer, how often men who choose to have the PSA blood test should have one, and when it would be in a man's best interest to stop testing....
Among the four patients, two were resistant to enzalutamide; their serum PSA levels showed a discrepancy from the radiographic disease progression. SLPI's potential as a predictor of prognosis in localized prostate cancer (PC) and disease progression in castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) is...
With the aging of the population, increased health awareness, changing dietary patterns, and the widespread PSA screening, the detection rate of PCa in China is increasing annually. The increasing incidence of PCa has led to a significant increase in prostate MRI examinations, thereby requiring an ...
