In the primary analysis, a Poisson regression model was fitted with cases of prostate cancer and prediagnosis PSA testing status, adjusting for the effects of age and calendar year. Devianceχ2statistics were used to determine the significance of the effects of the variables (prediagnosis PSA test...

Study: PSA level changes important; Prostate cancer fatality rate seems linked to how rapidly test numbers fluctuateASSOCIATED PRESS
It’s well known that the prostate-specific antigen (PSA) test used to screen for prostate cancer is imprecise. Elevations in PSA levels may signalprostate cancer, but they also may be due to nonmalignant prostate conditions. Further complicating the screening process is that several medicatio...
Although the value of the PSA (prostate-specific antigen) test as a cancer-screening instrument remains hotly contested, over the past two decades its usage has become commonplace. While most men diagnosed with prostate cancer will die with rather than of the disease, widespread PSA screening has...
Aim: The objective of this study is to assess NNT, numbers needed to treat to harm and corresponding confidence intervals for radical prostatectomy (RP) in patients with prostate cancer defined as a PSAV ≤2 ng/ml/year. Methods: NNT following RP were estimated in risk groups defined by PS...
the overexpression of HSP27 and Menin in the serum of prostate cancer (PCa) patients and the correlation they have with their tissue expression, as well as their correlation with the clinical data, have not been explored yet. In this study, we first investigated the correlations between HSP27...

Say you've been diagnosed with prostate cancer, the second-leading cause of cancer death in men. You opt for surgery to remove your prostate. Three months later, a prostate surface antigen (PSA) test shows no prostate cells in your body. Everyone rejoice
