Obese men with are more likely to have lower PSA levels than non-obese men with prostate cancer - a higher body mass index () is linked to higher plasma volume, which in turn can lead to lower PSA (prostate-specific antigen) levels, according to an article published in , November 21 ...
After adjusting for age, race, family prostate cancer history, obesity, and treatment for benign prostatic hypertrophy (BPH), cardiovascular disease, hyperlipidemia, and diabetes, aspirin was significantly associated with lower PSA levels. The effect of aspirin on PSA levels was greatest among those w...
Key Takeaways PSMA-PET imaging can be considered at PSA levels below 0.5 ng/mL, potentially altering management strategies. Negative PSMA-PET results should not delay salvage therapies like salvage radiation in patients. SHOW MOREThis is a modal window....
The ability of percent free prostate-specific antigen (PSA) to distinguish benign from malignant prostate disease has been established within the 4.0 to 20.0 ng/mL total PSA range, but its utility within the less than 4.0 ng/mL total PSA range has not been clearly defined. We undertook this...
Chicago-The traditional PSA cut-point of 4.0 ng/mL for recommending abiopsy to diagnose prostate cancer is controversial, and some researchershave recommended cut-points as low as 2.0 ng/mL. Two separate studies presentedat the AUA annual meeting here have found that cut-points of 2.5 or 2.6...
