PSA and beyond: alternative prostate cancer biomarkers

Abstract: Background The use of biomarkers for prostate cancer screening, diagnosis and prognosis has the potential to improve the clinical management of the patients. Owing to inherent limitations of the biomarker prostate-specific antigen (PSA), intensive efforts are currently directed towards a search for alternative prostate cancer biomarkers, particularly those that can predict disease aggressiveness and drive better treatment decisions. Methods A literature search of Medline articles focused on recent and emergi… Show more

“…Floresan in-situ hibridizasyon yöntemi ile %87 başarı ile genetik profillendirmenin yapılabildiği ve ilerleyici kastrasyona dirençli prostat kanserinin takibinde kullanılabileceği belirtilmiştir (30). Ancak günümüzdeki DTH saptama teknikleri; çok yoğun laboratuvar çalışması gerektirmekte, pahalı ve duyarlılıkları da düşüktür (7). Bu nedenle rutin klinik kullanımları bu haliyle mümkün değildir.…”

“…Refinements to PSA measurements have been proposed, including early PSA, benign PSA, free PSA, dynamic PSA parameters (including PSA velocity and PSA doubling time), PSA density (PSA to prostate volume ratio) and age-specific PSA level (1). Although these alternative applications of PSA may improve the diagnosis accuracy of prostate cancer to a certain extent, their relatively complicated implementation and the same confounding issues as usually affect tPSA continue to limit their application (10).…”
