Checking PSA levels too soon after prostate cancer surgery can lead to overtreatment, study suggests
After surgical removal of the prostate to treat prostate cancer, clinicians monitor prostate specific antigen (PSA) levels.
Post-RP prognosis was distinguishable at a nadir PSA level of ≤0.03 ng/mL vs higher. A PSA level of 0.04 ng/mL or higher may optimally define PSA persistence in patients who have had radical ...
Among men with PSA persistence after radical prostatectomy, a higher preoperative PSA surprisingly was linked to lower mortality. Men with PSA persistence and preoperative PSA >20 ng/mL had 31% lower ...
After surgical removal of the prostate to treat prostate cancer, clinicians monitor Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA) levels. Persistently elevated PSA levels indicate residual cancer and are linked to ...
One-third of patients with PSA levels below 0.2 ng/mL after radical prostatectomy have recurrent disease identifiable by PSMA PET. More than one-third of patients with PSA levels less than 0.5 ng/mL ...
A new study led by UCLA Health Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center investigators suggests that adding hormone therapy to post-operative radiotherapy may provide little survival benefit for most men ...
