Prostate specific antigen (PSA) is a blood-based biomarker used for the detection and surveillance of prostate cancer (PCa)1. PCa can cause disruption of the prostate’s cellular architecture, which in turn can result in PSA leaking into circulating blood. However, PSA levels can also be affec...
has little predictive power for prostate cancer, and vice versa; one SD increase in the PRS for BPH/LUTS increased the risk for prostate cancer by about 4% (P = 0.059), and the same increase of the prostate cancer PRS results in about 5% increase of BPH/LUTS risk (P = 0.002...
Prostate cancer is the most common cancer for men in the UK and researchers are hoping to find out more about what could increase or reduce the risk of developing the disease. In laboratory experiments vitamin D has been shown to help slow down cell division – one of the fundamental changes...
RESULTS: There were 63 prostate cancer deaths and 63 controls matched by age, clinical site, and length of follow-up. The mean PSA level for prostate cancer decedents was 2.84 ng/ml as compared with 1.10 ng/ml for controls (P = 0.002 for difference). There were nine men who died from...
Washington—Clinicians need to brace themselves for another round in the protracted debate over the value of routine prostate-specific antigen (PSA) screening. A new study from Stanford University School of Medicine contends that PSA scores between 2 ng/mL and 9 ng/mL are "clinically useless" ...
Levels of prostate-specific antigen were significantly higher in men who went on to develop prostate cancer, up to 6 years prior to the time of diagnosis in the cases. The level of prostate-specific antigen decreased with increasing time to diagnosis. The mean level for prostate cancer cases ...
Your doctor will closely track how quickly your PSA levels change over many months. They may call this your "PSA velocity." It can be a sign of how extensive and aggressive your cancer is. PSA levels can be confusing. They can go up and down for no obvious reason. They can rise after...
There was no overall statistically significant association of plasma CoQ10 levels with prostate cancer risk (P(trend) = 0.50). However, after matched sets in which controls who had possible undiagnosed prostate cancer (prostate specific antigen value >4.0) were excluded, the ORs for quintiles 2 ...
PSA testing is acknowledged to have been instrumental in increasing prostate cancer survival rates and is a good predictor for prostate cancer. The article notes, however, that there may be too many prostate biopsies being performed. The measure as it stands is a PSA threshold of 4.0 ng per ...
