Methods: We utilized data from a Commercial and Medicare advantage claims database to identify all US men ages 50 and above undergoing PSA screening who then had a sudden interval rise in PSA (e.g., PSA 鈮 20) and diagnosis of PC. We determined associations with age, race, screening ...
Besides, PSA levels rise not only in case of prostate cancer but also in several other conditions.PSA ChartPSA Test Numbers Interpretation Less than 4 ng/mL Normal 4– 10 ng/mL 20 – 30 % risk of cancer 10 – 20 ng/mL 50 – 75 % risk of cancer Above 20 ng/mL 90 % risk of ...
Methods Selected 70 cases which PSA levels were all above 2.5ng/mL and the cases had been treated with transrectal ultrasound-guided 10-hole. According to test results,the cases were randomly divided into two groups,prostate cancer group had 44 cases,and non-prostate cancer group had 26 cases...

But the ratio of F/T PSA was at 0.25 and above, the probability of PC was smaller(6.2%). Serum FPSA and TPSA both increased with age in healthy volunteers of 41~88 years old and were positively correlated with age. There were about 30.9% of BPH and 20.0% of PC patients with ...

If PSA level is above 10ng/ml, the patient most likely to have prostate cancer. Some studies indicated that elevated total PSA levels are found in Whole Blood/Serum/Plasma from patients who have prostate cancer cells metastasized throughout their bodies. Other studies indicated ...
