| 4 | The Significance of PSA Modified Parameters (F/T)/PSAD for Diagnosing Prostatic Cancer in the Grey Zone of 4~10 ng/ml显示文摘OBJECTIVE To investigate the diagnostic value of modified prostate specific antigen(PSA)parameters in the diagnosis of prostate cancer(PCA) when the serum PSAis in a grey zone of 4~10 ng/ml. METHODS The results of serum PSA determinations of the patients receiving a transrectal ultrasound-guided multiphase prostatic biopsy,were retrospectively analyzed.In the 88 patients with a serum PSA value of 4-10 ng/ml,the final diagnosis of PCA was made in 21,and that of benign prostate hyperplasia(BPH)in 67 patients.The percentage of the free-serum PSA([FPSA]/total-serum PSA[TPSA],F/T),PSA density(PSAD)and the sensitivity and specificity of the new PSA modified parameter(F/T)/PSAD in diagnosing PCA,within a set threshold value,was compared. RESULTS In the 88 patients with serum PSA in the grey zone of 4.0-10.0 ng/ml,there was no significant difference in comparing the TPSA between the 21 PCA patients and 67 BPH patients(P>0.05).However, there was a significant difference in the value of modified PSA parameters, such as F/T,PSAD and(F/T)/PSAD,between the PCA and the BPH groups (P<0.001).As the cut off point-value of the F/T,PSAD and(F/T)/PSAD was set at 0.16,0.15 and 0.8,the diagnostic sensitivity for PCA was 66.7%, 76.2%and 85.7%,and the specificity was 41.8%,43.3%and 68.7%,respectively.There was no significant difference in the sensitivity comparing the modified parameters for diagnosing PCA(P>0.05),whereas an overt predominance was present in the specificity of(F/T)/PSAD for PCAdiagnosis (P<0.05). CONCLUSION In the serum PSA grey zone of 4-10 ng/ml,a modified PSA parameter can improve the PCA diagnostic accuracy rate.With a considerably high sensitivity,application of the(F/T)/PSAD may effectively enhance the diagnostic specificity,which is superior to the F/T and PSAD, and can be expected to be one of the new indices derived from the PSA. | Dongliang Yan Enping Hu Haitao Zhang Sheng Liu Hairong Cai Lei Zhang Yan Zhou | 2007 | Chinese Journal of Clinical Oncology2007，4，5： | 1 |
