The widely known PSA blood test for prostate cancer in men may get a second life as a much-needed new test for breast cancer, the most common form of cancer in women worldwide, scientists are reporting in a new study in the ACS journalAnalytical Chemistry. Chien Chou and colleagues say t...
Changes in PSA levels over the following 1 to 5years were analyzed in men with PSA levels of 3ng/mL or less, a range in which the detection rate of prostate cancer would seem to be negligibly low. The overall detection rate of prostate cancer between 1992 and 2000 was 0.73%. The ...
Among the 291 men with abnormal value, 40% had values return to the normal range on at least one subsequent occasion.GramlingDepartment of Family MedicineRobertDepartment of Family MedicineJournal of Family PracticeGramling, R. 2003. "Many Abnormal PSA Test Results Normalize over Time." The ...
Control group was composed by 670 healthy men that were referred to our service to evaluation of Kidney donation or cancer prostate screening. We used Student's t-test and variance analysis (ANOVA) for age and PSA comparison between the groups. Results: Overall, patients with SCI and controls...
Therefore, the decision to test for PSA levels in older men must take into account their relatively low risk of dying of prostate cancer, Kavoussi said. "Overall, it is known that about 10 percent of individuals diagnosed with prostate cancer succumb to the disease," he said. "In this olde...
By regularly testing PSA it's possible to detect early‑stage asymptomatic prostate cancer. The specialists at Docrates recommend that men of 50 to 75 years of age have their PSA level checked each year in a PSA testing. What is a PSA test and when should it be done?
A PSA in the range of 4-10 nanograms per milliliter is linked to a 25% chance of prostate cancer. Most people with a PSA below 4 nanograms per milliliter don't have prostate cancer, but there's no guarantee. Sometimes, even people with a low PSA level have prostate cancer. ...

Cells membrane-engineered with 0.25 µg/mL anti-PSA antibody demonstrated a statistically lower response against the upper (≥4 ng/mL) PSA concentration range. In addition, the cell-based biosensor performed better than the immunosensor in terms of sensitivity and resolution against positive samples...
Check4Cancer’s cancer screening services are clinically governed by age restrictions, and you cannot sign up for a service if you are not within the age range for a particular cancer screening test. For PSACheck you must be at minimum 40 years of age. This is because clinical research does...
