These varying cut off points for what is a positive test are important because the sensitivity affects the numbers of positive PSA tests, thereby affecting the studies' rates. For example, Hugosson and Labrie, the more sensitive of tests reviewed, both found that PSA tests lowered mortality. ...

Lung, Colorectal, and Ovarian (PLCO) Cancer Screening Trial, which NCI conducted to determine whether certain screening tests can help reduce the numbers of deaths from several common cancers. In the prostate portion of th...
Cells at the indicated numbers were implanted subcutaneously or orthotopically (in the dorsal prostate) in 50% Matrigel in the three types of hosts. All tumors were harvested in ∼2 months. d The triple marker-positive and -negative LAPC9 cells were purified from the xenograft tumors that ...
After surgery or radiation, medical providers watch for a cancer relapse with PSA and PSADT test results. Those numbers plus your original risk category are considered together when deciding what treatment course to follow—the faster the PSADT and the higher your risk category, the more aggressive...
the significance of incorporating the men in the decision of either to test for prostate cancer or not; even though ACS acknowledged the advantages of PSA in lessening the probability of dying from prostate cancer (Wolf, Wender, Etzioni , Thompson, D'Amico, Volk, et al., 2010). The ACS ...
There are some differences between the numbers of participants in the intervention group of this trial14 and the published ProtecT trial study population5 (eTable 1 in Supplement 2). There were no important differences comparing measured characteristics of practices that did vs did not agree to par...
For men >70 years of age, the numbers would be 1.5 and 1.2 million, respectively. In effect, if the lower threshold were used, the number of men defined as having abnormal PSA levels would doubleto almost 6 million. "Until there is evidence that screening is effective, increasing the...

PSA or prostate-specific-antigen is an enzyme present in small quantities in the serum of men with healthy prostates. Its concentration is usually elevated in cases of prostate cancer, but it may also mean prostatitis or benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH for short). The discovery of PSA and it...
