Prostate biopsies based on PSA changes are largely unnecessary, researchers say. Feb. 25, 2010— -- If prostate biopsies were based only on the rate of change in PSA level over time, the number of ...
We conducted a systematic review of studies published before March 2007 in which a PSA dynamic (velocity or doubling time) was calculated in patients before definitive treatment, a subsequent event ...
Some studies have suggested that the rate of change of prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels may correspond with prostate cancer survival. But this does not necessarily mean that PSA velocity will be ...
Radical prostatectomy (RP) patients who have a preoperative PSA velocity greater than 0.4 ng/mL per year are 50% less likely to have insignificant disease compared with patients with lower PSA ...
An analysis of 5,519 men undergoing biopsy in the control arm of the Prostate Cancer Prevention Trial uncovered no evidence to support the recommendation that men with high PSA velocity be biopsied in ...
Elevated serum prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels can indicate the presence of prostate cancer, although PSA levels are also elevated in some non-malignant conditions, which affects the ...
WASHINGTON — Some prostate cancer kills. But many of the tumors are too slow-growing to ever threaten a man’s life. Unfortunately, there’s little way to tell the difference and help men decide to ...
Arnhem, November 2009 – The November issue of European Urology, the official journal of the European Association of Urology, features an article focussing on prostate specific antigen (PSA) velocity ...
The potential of peripheral blood HERV-K expression as a biomarker for diagnosis with prostate cancer in older men. Safety results of the enzalutamide expanded access program in the United States and ...
Serum PSA values >4.0 ng/ml are routinely used to select patients for prostate biopsy, although this approach misses some early-stage cancers. Some researchers advocate dropping the PSA threshold to 2 ...
Cancer organizations commonly recommend prostate biopsies for men who have experienced a rapid rise in PSA levels. But according to findings from a San Antonio study published Feb. 24 in the Journal ...
