Researchers Learn Why PSA Levels Reflect Prostate Cancer ProgressionResearchers at the Duke Cancer Institute who have been studying prostate cancer cells for decades now think they know why PSA (prostate-specific antigen) levels reflect cancer progression.Mary Jane Gore...
Your prostate makes PSA. So do most prostate cancer cells. During prostate cancer treatment, changes in your PSA levels help show whether your treatment is working. When you get treatment -- whether it's chemo, hormone therapy, a vaccine, or a combination -- your PSA levels should drop and...
Your Gleason score is an important part of how your doctor will assess how likely your cancer is to grow and spread. They'll consider your Gleason score along with other factors, like your PSA levels, your PSA levels over time, physical exam findings, and tumor imaging if you need it. ...
PI-RADS v2.1 and PSAD for the prediction of clinically significant prostate cancer among patients with PSA levels of 4–10ng/ml This study intended to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of the prostate imaging reporting and data system (PI-RADS) and prostate-specific antigen density (... J Wen...
Prevalence of Prostate Cancer Among Men with Normal PSA LevelsProstate CancerNew England Journal of Medicine
PSA levels appear to be more predictive of three year prostate cancer risk in African-American men compared with Caucasian men with a family history of prostate cancer, according to a paper published in Cancer Prevention Research, a journal of the Americ
A UCLA-led study has found treatments that reduce the risk of being diagnosed with a cancer recurrence based on rising prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels after radiotherapy, commonly referred to as biochemical recurrence, do not necessarily improve a patient's long-term overall survival. ...
When Should I Have My PSA Levels Tested? The first thing to do is to talk to your doctor about the pros and cons of prostate cancer screening before you decide whether to be tested. Don’t get tested until you have that talk. Opinions differ about when you should do that. ...

They are particularly sensitive in recognising the presence of postsurgical or postradiologic recurrence of cancer even at very low PSA levels. Moreover, such tracers can detect if the prostate cancer has spread into lymph nodes or bones, among others. PSMA-PET examinations enable more accurate ...
