Prostate-specific antigen (PSA) is the tumor marker most widely used in conjunction with digital rectal examination (DRE) for the early detection of prostate cancer (PCa). Due to its limitations, especially the high rate of false positive (FP) results, PSA screening of transplant candidates is...
A PSA level above 4.0 ng/mL in any age group must be investigated. However, PSA levels can spike in noncancerous conditions, such as benign prostate hypertrophy (BPH), urinary tract infections, prostatitis, consumption of testosterone supplements, recent catheterization, and injuries to the pelvic...
On the right to the cladogram, plasma total prostate specific antigen (PSA) levels are placed on the timeline in dark gray, together with corresponding percent free PSA values in light gray when available. GP5 received dutasteride and finasteride for symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia during...
In this study, the urine exosome gene expression assay was associated with improved identification of patients with higher-grade prostate cancer among men with elevated PSA levels and could reduce the total number of unnecessary biopsies. Introduction Prostate cancer (PCA) is the most common solid ...
Dr. Lin and colleagues compared the 4KScore test with the Prostate Cancer Prevention Trial (PCPT) risk calculator in more than 1400 men. All had elevated PSA levels and were referred for biopsy at 26 centers in the United States from October 2013 to January 2014. ...

Objectives: To determine the incidence and magnitude of the rapid increase in the serum PSA (riPSA) level after high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) therapy for prostate cancer, and its correlation with clinical factors. Methods: A total of 176 patients with localized prostate cancer underwent...
b. Distributions of age (n = 125) and plasma PSA (n = 117) levels of patients in our cohort. For the boxplot, center line indicates the median value, lower and upper hinges represent the 25th and 75th percentiles, respectively and whiskers denote 1.5 × interquartile range. c....
