Given the uncertainties with PSA test results, only a prostate biopsy (removal of prostate tissue through an invasive procedure for analysis) can diagnose prostate cancer. RELATED: What a High PSA Level Means if It’s Not Prostate Cancer
"This results in some men going on to have invasive treatment that they don't need, many years earlier than without screening, and the test is also failing to spot some cancers that do need to be treated. We need to find better ways to spot aggressive prostate cancers, so we can treat...
In the study, results showed that 80% of the control group reported at least 1 PSA test during the trial. Additionally, more than half had PSA assessments within the year prior to enrollment, and 70% reported having a PSA test in the 2 years prior to joining the control group of the...
subsequently, confidence in the sensitivity of psa testing was undermined by results from the prostate cancer prevention trial showing that 15% of subjects with normal psa levels had prostate cancer and that 15% of those cancers were high grade. using a relatively inaccurate diagnostic test does ...
“Urologists are uniquely positioned to monitor PSA test results with their patients, and to know when to biopsy an individual,” concurred Werntz. “Obviously, it should be a shared decision.” Werntz R, Martinez-Acevedo AC, Conlin MJ, et al. Trends in PSA utilization by primary care physic...
RESULTS: Of those 348 men consulting with their regular GP, 80 (23.0%) reported previously having had a PSA screening test. Men were significantly and independently more likely ever to have had PSA screening if their regular GP reported a propensity to initiate screening [adjusted odds ratio (...

摘要: Two groundbreaking trials have this year reported conflicting results as to the benefit of screening for prostate cancer. Careful interpretation in the light of contemporary data is needed to reveal the value of this intervention.关键词: caldesmon ischemia/reperfusion myosin light chain kinase ...
In this preliminary descriptive report, the screening intervention detected 1 high-grade prostate cancer per 196 men and 1 low-grade prostate cancer per 909 men invited to be screened. These preliminary findings should be inte...
