- Percent Free Prostate-Specific Antigen: Entering a New Era in . . .
The introduction of prostate-specific antigen (PSA) testing into clinical medicine in 1986 revolutionized the management of patients with prostate cancer The major limitation of this tumor marker stems from its inability to provide a clear distinction between benign prostate disease and prostate cancer, especially in patients with upper limit of normal or slightly increased PSA values Recent
- Free total PSA ratio is a powerful predictor of future . . .
Abstract Objectives: To evaluate the usefulness of measuring the free total prostate-specific antigen (PSA) ratio (%fPSA) in men with initial PSA levels of 4 1 to 10 0 ng mL as a predictor of the future risk of developing prostate cancer
- Prostate-Specific Antigen: PSA Test and PSA Levels Explained
The prostate-specific antigen (PSA) test is used to measure blood PSA levels and help detect prostate cancer or other prostate abnormalities
- Screening for Prostate Cancer | Prostate Cancer | CDC
Overview Cancer screening means looking for cancer before it causes symptoms The goal of screening for prostate cancer is to find cancers that may be at high risk for spreading if not treated, and to find them early before they spread If you are thinking about being screened, learn about the possible benefits and harms of screening, diagnosis, and treatment, and talk to your doctor about
- PSA Free Test - Direct Care Labs
A PSA+% Free test measures both total prostate-specific antigen (PSA) and the percentage of free PSA in the blood to help evaluate prostate health and assess the risk of prostate cancer
- PSA Level Testing and Role in Prostate Cancer Staging
PSA is a protein produced in the prostate gland The PSA blood test is one of several tools used in screening for, and monitoring, prostate cancer
- Does an Elevated PSA Level Mean I Have Prostate Cancer?
Prostate cancer is a disease that forms in the tissues of the prostate, a male gland just below the bladder which is partly responsible for making the fluid that is part of semen Prostate cancer forms within cells in the prostate The disease takes a variable course from patient to patient Some prostate cancers spread quickly, while many others develop and grow slowly Prostate
- Prostate-Specific Antigen Trends Predict the Probability of . . .
If prostate-specific antigen (PSA) trends help identify elevated prostate cancer (PCa) risk, they might provide early warning of progressing cancer for further evaluation and justify annual testing Our objective was to determine whether PSA trends
