c. Generally, after radical prostatectomy, PSA is reduced to undetectable levels (PSA < 0.1 ng/mL). Under the premise of negative imaging examinations, continuous PSA levels ≥ 0.2 ng/mL on two occasions are defined as the standard for biochemical recurrence. However, some scholars bel...
Prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels have been used for detection and surveillance of prostate cancer (PCa). However, factors other than PCa—such as genetics—can impact PSA. Here we present findings from a genome-wide association study (GWAS) of PSA in 28,503 Kaiser Permanente whites and ...
METHODS: We conducted retrospective chart review of PCa patients managed with AS. Patients were followed with PSA, total, free and bioavailable testosterone measurements, physical examination, and by repeat biopsies or periodic magnetic resonance imaging. Disease progression was identified by follow-up ...
The interpretation of the PSA result must be done with care. PSA results must be, for example, interpreted in the context of the patient's age. Younger men (under 70 years of age and definitely under 60 years of age) may have either more aggressive prostate cancers or live long enough t...
PSA levels between 3 and 10 ng/mL. Currently, the NCCN recommends consideration of percent free PSA (%fPSA), Prostate Health Index (PHI), and 4Kscore in patients with PSA levels > 3 ng/mL who have not had an initial prostate biopsy. For individuals who have had at least one negative ...
On the right to the cladogram, plasma total prostate specific antigen (PSA) levels are placed on the timeline in dark gray, together with corresponding percent free PSA values in light gray when available. GP5 received dutasteride and finasteride for symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia during...
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 ...
