## Background: The objective of this study was to correlate the failure pattern of localized prostate carcinoma after radiotherapy (rt) with pretreatment (pretx) psa and post-rt nadir psa, using systematic biopsies and serum psa in the assessment of outcome. ## Methods: From january 1990 to febru

It is current practice in many clinical trials evaluating new chemotherapy regimens for the treatment of advanced prostate cancer to use prostate-specific antigen (PSA) decline as a response criteria with the assumption that the level of PSA reflects the efficacy of chemotherapy. Advanced prostate c
## Abstract ## BACKGROUND The objective of this study was to evaluate the prostate specific antigen (PSA) density (PSAD) (the quotient of PSA and prostate volume) compared with the percent free PSA (%fPSA) in different total PSA (tPSA) ranges from 2 ng/mL to 20 ng/mL. Possible cutβoff levels depen
## Background: The authors previously found that, although the total percentage of prostate needle biopsy cores with carcinoma was a significant predictor of prostate specific antigen (psa) failure among men undergoing radical prostatectomy (rp), there was a trend toward a lower risk of recurrence
