A PI-RADS score 1 or 2 appears less likely to miss existing prostate cancer, although a small amount of csCa can be overlooked. In case of clinical suspicion or elevated PSA density and PI-RADS score 1 or 2, an individual decision has to be taken if biopsy is necessary or if monitorin...
The study found that independent predictors of prostate cancer for African-American men include prostate-specific antigen (PSA) scores, no previous biopsy, digital rectal examination and race. The study re...
摘要: The introduction of WHO standards for PSA assays is a step forward for improving the comparability of these tests. our current clinical decision limits, however, were validated using traditional calibrators. The threshold for biopsy must be adjusted when using the new standards....
Online questionnaire survey, with a sample of 421 GPs randomly selected from a database of GPs across the UK.95% (400/421) of GPs responded. 76% of GPs reported having performed a PSA test for an asymptomatic man at least once in the previous three month
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...
But a PSA test can still discover prostate cancer, leading to unnecessary tests and treatment. "You'll always find people who are convinced that no matter what is done, the evidence doesn't matter and what they really want to find out is if they have any cancer," Miller said. "They wi...
To evaluate prostate cancer (PCa) detection and incidence of pathologically insignificant PCa (pIPCa) tumour using percent-free PSA (%f-PSA) in patients with total PSA10ngml. From February 2002 to October 2009, 14453 patients (median 60.5 years) were enrolled in a case-finding protocol for the...
With the rapidly spreading enthusiasm for early detection of prostate cancer and the increasing use of serum PSA to evaluate the gland, more cancers that are not palpable on digital rectal examination are being identified. These tumors have pathologic characteristics that are very similar to those of...
CONCLUSIONS: Tumor CP and DNA ploidy can be reliably determined in prostate cancer by computerized cytometry. On the basis of our preliminary results, CP correlates well with GS and predicts PSA failure better than DNA ploidy or GS. 展开 ...
The cancer is growing in the prostate, but hasn’t spread beyond it. The doctor may or may not be able to feel the tumor during a DRE or see it on an imaging test. The tumor can be in one or both lobes of the prostate. The Gleason score is 7 and the PSA level is less than ...
