One is when your prostate-specific antigen (PSA) blood test results are higher than normal for your age. Another is when your Doctor detects some signs of a prostate problem during your digital rectal exam (DRE). However, a biopsy can have a number of risks and life-changing side effects...
There has been a rise in prostate cancer incidence in countries in which the blood test for prostatic-specific antigen (PSA) is common, and concerns have been expressed that this may be because of the increased detection of indolent disease, subjecting these men to unnecessary treatment and ...

Objective To study the differential diagnostic value of free prostate specific antigen(f PSA)/total prostate specificantigen(t PSA) for prostate cancer.Methods We measured the serum levels of t PSA and of f PSA from 63 cases healthy individuals,75 cases of benign prostate hyperplaisia(BPH),and...
Objective To investigate prostate tissue zinc combination of prostate-specific antigen(PSA) for prostate cancer diagnosis.Methods For prostate cancer treatment guidelines in line with the provisions of the prostate puncture indication system,the patients were examined by prostate biopsy,an organization dedic...
Objective To evaluate the diagnostic value of serum total prostatic specific antigen(t-PSA) and the ratio of free to t-PSA PSA for prostatic cancer(PCa).Methods It was studied retrospectively 109 cases of PCa and 317 cases of benign prostatic hyperplasia(BPH) and compared the differences of t...
In addition, high DHT level also raises the levels of prostate specific antigen (PSA) by inducing the transactivation activity of AR7,8. Inhibitors of 5α-reductases (5αRIs, e.g. finasteride) are commonly used for the BPH treatment because they reduce the level of DHT13. Another BPH ...
(10 pack-years) and retired investment banker and economist without other significant exposures. He had been followed with yearly prostate specific antigen (PSA) levels since age 50 in the normal range (<4.0 ng/mL) and with normal digital rectal examinations, but repeat PSA testing ...
Context.—The percentage of free prostate-specific antigen (PSA) in serum has been shown to enhance the specificity of PSA testing for prostate cancer
