Using absolute prostate-specific antigen (PSA) thresholds to make decisions about diagnostic testing and biopsies remains controversial (Journal Watch Top Story Dec 31 2004), but PSA velocity (the ...
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 ...
We need better ways to determine which prostate-specific antigen (PSA)-detected localized prostate cancers are most likely to progress. The rate at which the PSA level rises (i.e., PSA velocity) prior ...
In addition to this license involving PSA velocity, 20/20 Biolabs and Dr. Hébert anticipate conducting joint research to develop similar velocity algorithms for other protein tumor markers like CA 125 ...
PSA blood test Compared with absolute PSA, PSA velocity associated more with increased likelihood of progression among men on active surveillance for prostate cancer. PSA velocity (PSAV) is associated ...
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 ...
A phase IIb trial of docetaxel concurrent with radiotherapy plus hormotherapy versus radio hormonotherapy in high-risk localized prostate cancer (QRT SOGUG trial): Preliminary report for design, ...
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 ...
Elevated serum prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels can indicate the presence of prostate cancer, although PSA levels are also elevated in some nonmalignant conditions, which affects the reliability ...
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 ...
If you need further proof that medicine is just as much art as science, a new study shows that some common sense needs to prevail before rushing into possibly unnecessary prostate biopsies if there is ...
