Key Results Two-thirds of patients received follow-up evaluation within 24months of the elevated PSA test: 32.8% of men underwent a biopsy, 15.5% attended a urology visit but were not biopsied, and 18.8% had a subsequent normal PSA test. Younger age, higher PSA levels, more prior PSA ...
Anxiety associated with prostate cancer screening with special reference to men with a positive screening test (elevated PSA) – Results from a prospective... Levels of anxiety were assessed through questionnaires completed by 1781 screen-positive (PSA 3 ng/mL) men attending the European Randomised ...
of 31 (3.1–690) for highly elevated PSA ⩾20 ng/ml was observed in the highest 15% vs lowest 50% of estimated daily PhIP intake (⩾30 vs ⩽10 ng/kg day) among men 50+ years old (P=0.0002 for trend) and remained significant after adjustment for self-reported family hist...
They completed food-frequency and meat-cooking/consumption questionnaires and had a prostate-specific antigen (PSA) test and digital-rectal exam. Results for 392 men indicated a 17 (+/-17) ng/kg day mean (+/-1 s.d.) daily intake of PhIP, about twice that of white US men of similar ...

In this article, I review the steps involved in evaluating a screening test, using the case of prostate-specific antigen (PSA) screening for prostate cancer as a case study. I discuss designs for quantifying the diagnostic...年份: 2010 ...
Even though early detection of PCa has dramatically increased since the introduction of serum prostate-specific antigen (PSA) measurement, the lack of specificity of PSA as a tumor marker results in a high rate of unnecessary biopsies [2]. Consequently, various attempts have been made to identify...
Prostatic risk-stratification biomarkers are intended for use primarily in lower-risk and selected borderline patients with marginally elevated levels of PSA, typically between 4 and 10 ng/mL, where an adverse finding likely results in the avoidance of immediate further testing, prostatic imaging, biop...
PSA failure after radical prostatectomy was examined in samples stained for Hp1γ. A) Gleason score provides minimal separation of patients into risk categories for biochemical recurrence using a Log rank analysis (P = 0.2). B) Cytoplasmic Hp1γ is superior to pathological Gleason score when Glea...
