PSA test is often and most commonly done to screen for prostate cancer. However, this test is also performed to monitor progression of the cancer, see if the treatments are working, or if the cancer has come back. PSA test is also recommended when any abnormality in the prostate gland is...
BACKGROUNDThe Prostate Cancer Prevention Trial (PCPT) demonstrated that finasteride reduces the prevalence of prostate cancer by 24.8% (risk reduction) but questions remain regarding the cost-effectiveness of widespread utilization. The purpose of the current analysis was to evaluate the cost-effectiveness...

PSA testing has lowered the number of deaths from prostate cancer. However, it's hard to say, on an individual level, whether the test's benefits outweigh the cost and risk of potential side effects. Some advantages to having a PSA test include: ...

To compare the costs and effectiveness of intensity-modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) with three-dimensional conformal radiotherapy (3DCRT) for the radical treatment of localised prostate cancer at elevated doses (>70 Gy). A cost-effectiveness analysis model was developed using clinical effectiveness estimat...
The relative costs have been determined for treating prostate cancer by radical prostatectomy, lymph node dissection with I125 implant, and external beam radiation in a large community practice. About 15% of patients were treated with the options involving surgery. The median cost of radical ...
