PSA levels of 4.0 ng/mL and lower were considered normal. However, some individuals with PSA levels below 4.0 ng/mL have prostate cancer and many with higher PSA levels between 4 and 10 ng/mL do not have prostate ...
Researchers Learn Why PSA Levels Reflect Prostate Cancer ProgressionResearchers at the Duke Cancer Institute who have been studying prostate cancer cells for decades now think they know why PSA (prostate-specific antigen) levels reflect cancer progression.Mary Jane Gore...
The researchers found that PSA levels are lower in men with prostate cancer than those who have undergone operations but did not have cancer. They also insisted that the PSA is produced by benign prostatic hype...
Washington—Clinicians need to brace themselves for another round in the protracted debate over the value of routine prostate-specific antigen (PSA) screening. A new study from Stanford University School of Medicine contends that PSA scores between 2 ng/mL and 9 ng/mL are "clinically useless" i...
Study Concludes That Moderate PSA Levels Are Unrelated to Prostate Cancer Outcomes FullText Washington—Clinicians need to brace themselves for another round in the protracted debate over the value of routine prostate-specific antigen (PSA) screening. A new study from Stanford University School of ...
PSA levels within 2 years of diagnosis do not predict lethal prostate cancer outcomesBecause of the excellent prognosis for localized prostate cancer in patients who remain untreated, early radical surgery might be unnecessary in most cases. Little is known about early indicators that might predict ...
(PSA) levels even when they are diagnosed with advanced or metastatic prostate cancer. This study aimed to investigate the outcome in patients with Gleason score 8-10 prostate cancer and low preoperative PSA level.Methods:Clinic...
The PSA Levels Test is HighlyIneffective But, for diagnosing cancer, a PSA levels test is highly ineffective. What it does do is sell a lot of biopsys. A Urologist who gets a "high" (above 4) PSA reading on a patient almost always recommends a biopsy. This is a 15 minute procedure...
Your doctor will closely track how quickly your PSA levels change over many months. They may call this your "PSA velocity." It can be a sign of how extensive and aggressive your cancer is. PSA levels can be confusing. They can go up and down for no obvious reason. They can rise after...
