Being born with a larger-than-normal prostate A PSA in the range of 4-10 nanograms per milliliter is linked to a 25% chance of prostate cancer. Most people with a PSA below 4 nanograms per milliliter don't have prostate cancer, but there's no guarantee. Sometimes, even people with ...
All were referred under the UK 2-week wait cancer referral pathway, when the referral criteria were PSA ≥3 ng/mL for men aged 50–69 years and ≥4 ng/mL for those aged 70–79 years or those with an abnormal rectal examination (DRE). All patients underwent multiparametric MRI (T2, ...
PSA test is done using a blood sample. A small puncture is made in a vein in the arm to collect the blood sample. The samples are sent to a laboratory and results usually take a few days. Normal PSA levels are in the range of upto 4 nanogram per mililitre. In men of age group ...
Lineage transitions are a central feature of prostate development, tumourigenesis and treatment resistance. While epigenetic changes are well known to drive prostate lineage transitions, it remains unclear how upstream metabolic signalling contributes to
The mean age of the cohort (N = 162) was 67.3 ± 5.7 years (range, 53–87), and the mean BMI was 27.6 ± 4 kg/m2(range, 20.5–40.6). According to the WHO classification, 47 patients were classified as normal weight (30.1%), 70 as overweight (44.9%) and 39...
1,2 Specifically, they need to meet 1 of the following criteria: PSA progression defined as at least 2 rising PSA values, radiographic progression by RECIST v1.1 criteria, or progressive disease per the presence of new bone lesions. Patients also need to be at least 18 years o...
PSA correlates positively with patients age (r= 0.24, P=0.005). Prostates volume also correlates positively with serum PSA, (Pearson's Correlation r=0.275 and P= 0.002). Age and prostate volume also had a significant relation P=0.054 but there was only a very weak relationship between PSA ...
