β¦ Synopsis
This state-of-the-art reference provides a comprehensive review of prostate specific antigen (PSA) and related prostate markers-examining velocity, density, and age-specific reference ranges for increased sensitivity in PSA tumor identification and selection of patient therapies. Supplemented with helpful drawings, photographs, and tables that reinforce and clarify essential issues! Considering PSA as a monitor for cancer, Prostate Specific Antigen explores Β·PSA levels during radiation, chemotherapy, and hormone therapy treatments Β·increased PSA levels in older men Β·the effect of acute urinary retention, acute bacterial prostatitis, and benign prostatic hyperplasia on PSA concentration levels Β·and more! With contributions by over 30 internationally distinguished experts and containing nearly 2000 timely references, Prostate Specific Antigen is an essential tool for all urologists and urologic surgeons; medical, urologic, and radiation oncologists; pathologists; clinical chemists and biochemists; primary care physicians; and fellows, residents, and medical students in these disciplines.

Prostate cancer (PCa) is a disease with high incidence and prevalence. Early detection of PCa has been an area for research to decrease its morbidity and mortality. The discovery of prostate specific antigen (PSA) revolutionized screening of PCa, which was largely dependent on detection of prostatic
<p><p>This thesis focuses on the synthesis and vaccine evaluation of the prostate tumor- associated carbohydrate antigen RM2. The author first presents the use of the [1+2+3] one-pot sequential strategy to successfully synthesise the RM2 antigen and its analogues as single stereoisomers in every gly
