- Prueba del antígeno prostático específico (PSA)
El antígeno prostático específico o PSA es una proteína que producen tanto las células normales como las células malignas (cancerosas) de la próstata Tanto el cáncer de próstata como varias afecciones benignas (en particular la hiperplasia prostática benigna, o HPB, y la prostatitis) hacen que aumenten las concentraciones del PSA en la sangre

- Prostate Cancer Screening (PDQ®) - NCI - National Cancer Institute
It has been reported that 25% of men presenting with metastatic disease had a normal prostate examination Another case-control study examining screening with both DRE and prostate-specific antigen (PSA) found a reduction in prostate cancer mortality that was not statistically significant (odds ratio [OR], 0 7; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0
- Hormone Therapy for Prostate Cancer Fact Sheet - NCI
Androgens promote the growth of both normal and cancerous prostate cells by binding to and activating the androgen receptor, An increase in PSA level may indicate that a man’s cancer has started growing again or become resistant to the hormone therapy that is currently being used Prostate Cancer and Prostatic Diseases 2007; 10(4):340
- Prostate Cancer Screening Results from PLCO - NCI

- PSA (Prostatic Specific Antigen) Lab Value | EOD Data SEER*RSA
PSA (Prostatic Specific Antigen) is a protein produced by cells of the prostate gland and is elevated in patients with prostate cancer This data item pertains to PSA lab value Serum PSA is the most sensitive tumor marker for monitoring individuals with prostate cancer, including progression of disease and response to therapy

- PSA Velocity Does Not Improve Prostate Cancer Detection
In that clinical trial, men ages 55 or older with a PSA level below 3 0 ng ml and a normal DRE result at study entry were randomly assigned to receive either the drug finasteride or a placebo The online calculator estimates the likelihood that a biopsy will detect prostate cancer in general and high-grade prostate cancer in particular
