To determine the prognosis, we examined clinical course of the prostate cancer patients whose initial PSA were over 1000ng/ml. Materials and Methods The subjects were patients diagnosed with prostate cancer in our hospital from January 2001 to December 2008 and we examined clinical features and ...

Although PSA bounce can be of concern for both the patient and physician, paradoxically, it is often associated with an improved prognosis (Patel et al, 2004; Ciezki et al, 2006; Mitchell et al, 2008; Bernstein et al, 2013). To date, no satisfactory explanation for this phenomenon has ...
Over the past decade, PSA has been shown to be the most valuable diagnostic and prognostic marker in oncology. However, its reliability as screening tool for PCa remains controversial due to its lack of specificity. Several non-malignant conditions of the prostate, such as BB, are associated wi...
4H). Collectively, Thr163 PSA was associated with highest metastatic tumour burden, including bone metastases, which is consistent with our observations for the behaviour of these cells in-vitro, suggestive of a relationship with the poor prognosis of the patients, carrying the rs17632542 SNP, ...
3,4 The prognosis for low- and intermediate-risk localized prostate cancer is excellent,5 and although there is fair-quality evidence that screening by PSA testing reduces prostate cancer deaths,6 debate continues about the trade-off between the mortality benefit and risks of harm from over...

"Protective" fibroblasts that contribute to a prolonged serum PSA decline period could enhance treatment efficacy, resulting in a more favorable prognosis. quiescence of the prostate, elicited a reduction in tumorigenic potential of Dunning prostatic adenocarcinoma [52].

The prognosis of children with intestinal failure has improved dramatically over the past few decades. Most young children with intestinal failure will now survive into school age and beyond, even with the shortest bowel lengths. In many studies, residual small bowel length has been found to correl...
