High PSA levels may show body is fighting cancer.Outlines the results of a study on the treatment of prostate cancer. Significance of the prostate specific antigen; Ability of the antigen to reduce metastases; Experiment on in vitro cells.Josefson...
"Because inflammation makes PSA levels go up, men with inflammation are more likely to have higher PSA and, with a rising PSA, they're more likely to be biopsied," she said. "By doing more biopsies on these men, prostate cancer is more likely to be detected, even if inflammation is no...
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...
Prostate-specific antigen (PSA) is a glycoprotein produced by epithelial cells of the prostate gland. PSA serum levels are increased in prostate cancer (PCa) due to the disruption of the tissue barriers between the prostate gland and the capillaries, which lead to a higher release into the bloo...
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...
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 ...
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...
Performance Measure Calculations for High-Grade Cancer using PSA Alone, Prostate Cancer Prevention Trial Risk Calculator, Prostate Health Index (PHI), Derived Multiplex 2-Gene and 3-Gene Models, MyProstateScore (MPS), MPS2, and MPS2 Plus Prostate Volume (MPS2+) in the EDRN Validation Cohort ...
Low Prostate Concentration of Lycopene Is Associated with Development of Prostate Cancer in Patients with High-Grade Prostatic Intraepithelial Neoplasia. Prostate cancer (PC) is a frequent male malignancy and represents the second most diagnosed cancer in men. Since pre-cancerous lesions, i.e., the...
Re: Predicting High-Grade Cancer at Ten-Core Prostate Biopsy Using Four Kallikrein Markers Measured in Blood in the ProtecT StudyBACKGROUND: Many men with elevated prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels in serum do not have aggressive prostate cancer and undergo unnecessary biopsy. Retrospective ...
