gland and enters the bloodstream. A range of disorders involving the prostate cause its cells to produce more PSA. This raised amount ofPSAcan then be measured with ablood test. Raised PSA levels can indicate several different disorders involving the prostate, one of which is prostate cancer. ...
You probably had a blood test to check your levels of PSA -- a protein called prostate-specific antigen -- before your doctor told you that you haveprostate cancer. You'll still get those tests now that your cancer has spread beyond your prostate. The results are important, because if the...

If your test shows you have a high PSA, that doesn't necessarily mean you have cancer. Your doctor will likely have you take another PSA test to make sure your level is higher than normal. Your doctor can also order other tests to help figure out why your PSA levels are high, such ...
PSA testing has revolutionized our ability to diagnose, treat, and follow-up patients. The present study evaluated PSA levels in recently diagnosed prostate cancer cases in screening. PSA was estimated by enzyme immunochemical assay in 128 patients. The study concluded that early diagnosis of ...
p pBackground/p pThe role of Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA) testing in the early detection of prostate cancer is controversial. Current UK policy stipulates that any man who wishes to have a PSA test should have access to the test, provided he has been given full information about the ben...
PSA levels, on average, rise as men get older, possibly because the prostate leaks more PSA into the bloodstream. 2. Benign prostate enlargement (BPH) BPH is a non-cancerous enlargement of the prostate that occurs with age. As men get older, the risk ofBPHrises. ...
Clinical indicators of aggressive prostate cancer behaviour such as PSA levels, PSA doubling time or the Gleason score of the primary tumour, as well as the androgen deprivation therapy, radiation therapy or chemotherapy status are not related to measured tracer uptake. 展开 关键词: PSA PSA ...
PSA is a protein made only by prostate cells, and in cancer, PSA levels can rise as tumour cells multiply, but they also rise as a man's prostate gland grows with age, and some men with cancer have low PSA levels; so the test is considered imperfect. The authors found that a patient...
Median PSA was 0.68 ng/mL in the 40 to 49 group, 0.88 ng/mL in the 50 to 54 group and 0.96 ng/mL in the 55 to 59 group. Men with PSA levels above the median had a significantly increased risk for prostate cancer in the 40 ...
