Analytical methods of PSA that can be reliably distinguish between benign prostatic hyperplasia and prostate cancer, and to provide an analysis kit of PSA. The object of the present invention, by contacting a lectin having an affinity for 尾-N- acetylgalactosamine residue, a sample possibly ...
In general, a PSA level less than 4 nanograms per milliliter (ng/mL) of blood is considered a normal level while a PSA greater than 10 ng/mL suggests a high risk of having cancer. Unfortunately, some men have intermediate levels (5 to 9 ng/mL), making their situations more difficult ...
"Our goal is to shock thecancer cellsby exposing them rapidly to very high followed by very low levels of testosterone in the blood," explained Prof Denmeade. These alternating extremes in testosterone levels are why the researchers call the therapy "bipolar". Men with declining PSA levels or ...
Epidemiological studies have shown that caffeinated drinks may help prevent skin cancer by inhibiting a DNA repair pathway, thus killing potentially precancerous cells. In English, it means that drinking drinks containing caffeine will reduce one’s chances of developing some types of cancer, including...
The lowest score for a cancer is 6, which is a low-grade cancer. A Gleason score of 7 is a medium-grade cancer, and a score of 8, 9, or 10 is a high-grade cancer. Generally speaking, the higher your Gleason score, the more aggressive the cancer. That means it’s more likely ...
MPS2 test validated for detection of high-grade prostate cancer in non-DRE urine Hannah Clarke “MPS2 could potentially improve the health of our patients by avoiding overdiagnosis and overtreatment and allowing us to focus on those who are most likely to have aggressive cancers," says Ganesh S...
How should PSA screening efforts be focused to prevent underdiagnosis and overdiagnosis of prostate cancer? 来自 Semantic Scholar 喜欢 0 阅读量: 46 作者:AE Pelzer,W Horninger 摘要: Identification of individuals who are at high risk of developing prostate cancer, and those who are not, is a ...
In cancer therapy, deterministic effects are sought to control tumours and are feared due to normal tissue complications (e.g., bone marrow, kidney, and salivary gland toxicities). The deterministic effects occur above a threshold absorbed dose of radiation. They occur days or weeks and up to ...
Drowsiness Dizziness Low blood pressure when changing positions High prolactin levels Breast development in men Uncontrollable body movements (also called extrapyramidal symptoms) Antipsychotics can also cause changes to your metabolism. These changes may include weight gain, high cholesterol, and Type 2 di...
26 In population-based surveys, “receiving a physician's recommendation” has been strongly associated with receipt of CRC,7 breast cancer,8 and prostate cancer9 screening. Thus, the strong associations between PHE receipt and CRC and PSA testing in the present study may have arisen because ...
