However, the PSA testing rate reported in our study did not exceed the rate calculated from medical chart data in 46 community-based primary care settings (12). Second, BRFSS questionnaires did not ask if people had symptoms of prostate cancer when their PSA tests wer...
Both patient and physician should maintain a PSA flow chart that records all PSA values, the date of measurement, and the PSA assay used. Patients with persistent elevated PSA levels may benefit from further evaluation using other PSA parameters to improve prostate cancer detection and assessment ...

Death from PC was defined as death in any patient with metastases showing progression following ADT without another cause of death based on a thorough chart review. Secondary outcomes included BCR, CRPC and time to secondary treatments (radiation (XRT) or ADT). BCR was defined as a single ...
Relative incidence rates for prostate cancer by stage, fatal incidence, and lymph nodes were calculated, adjusted for age. Localized and regional stage prostate cancer increased through 1992 and then dropped. The rate of distant-stage disease was relatively stable from 1973-1991, with a decrease ...
