Purpose: We assessed risk stratification in patients with low grade prostate cancer managed by active surveillance using a 20-core saturation biopsy technique.

OBJECTIVE: Determine how serum prostate-specific antigen (t-PSA) levels and free PSA (f/t PSA) ratio change following transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP). MATERIALS AND METHODS: Thirty men with a mean age of ...

OBJECTIVES: To establish a formula that estimates tumor volume in localized prostate cancer based on serum prostate specific antigen levels. One of the main prognostic variables in localized prostate cancer is tumor volume, ...

Prostatic-specific antigen (PSA) is a biomarker that has been broadly used in aiding the diagnoses of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and prostate cancer. The incidence of both, which are, in part, androgen-driven ...

OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to determine the incidence of asymptomatic, histologically proven prostatitis in men with symptoms of benign prostate hyperplasia and to observe the correlation between asymptomatic ...

The incidence of multiple primary neoplasms has been increasing over the years. Within this group, the coexistence of primary prostate cancer and primary colorectal cancer is one of the most frequent. The objective of this ...

Objectives: To verify prostate cancer prevalence in non-symptomatic men between 50 and 70 years old as well as cancer characteristics. Material and Methods: 2815 non-symptomatic men had total PSA and digital rectal examination ...

The incidence of prostatic malignancy has increased the use of tissue markers to detect cancer. Tissue specific antigens or differentiation antigens are found on the surface of normal cells. Clinically, these antigens are ...
