May 29, 2007 — Men with a prostate-specific antigen (PSA) velocity greater than 2 ng/mL/year have a significantly higher risk for mortality that is prostate cancer–specific (PCSM), as compared with ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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, ...

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 ...

To the Editor: There are some basic methodologic flaws in the work by D'Amico et al. (July 8 issue). 1 In their multivariate analyses, the prostate-specific antigen (PSA) velocity was modeled as a ...

ORLANDO-Higher baseline PSA and rapid PSA doubling time (PSADT) are adversely associated with bone metastasis and death in patients with castrate nonmetastatic prostate cancer, according to a study ...

CHICAGO (Reuters) - A sudden spike in blood levels of prostate specific antigen, or PSA, is not an accurate way to predict prostate cancer, and testing for such changes can lead to overtreatment, U.S.

PSA velocity, not a man's absolute PSA level, is a better predictor of prostate cancer risk, according to a study from the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine. The findings suggest that screening should ...

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 ...
