RT-PCR is extremely sensitivity in detecting tissue-specific mRNA of tumor markers such, as PSA ( 45 ), hK2 ( 46 ), and more recently, prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA). PSMA is a 100-kDa transmembrane glycoprotein identified in all types of prostatic tissue, but particularly elevated in carcinomas.
The Canadian Urological Association recommends screening with both DRE and PSA in all average-risk men aged 50 years and older with a minimum life expectancy of 10 years. 7 In contrast, the Canadian Task Force on Preventive Health Care recommends against use of the PSA test for prostate cancer screening in men aged 55 years or older without a
Prostate cancer remains the most common cancer in men. Qualitative or semi-quantitative immunochromatographic measurements of prostate specific antigen (PSA) have been shown to be simple, noninvasive and feasible. The aim of this study was to evaluate an optimized gold immunochromatographic strip device for the detection of PSA, in which the results can be analysed using a Chromogenic Rapid
PSA testing has increased the number of men diagnosed with and treated for prostate cancer, but many of these men would never have experienced any symptoms or death from prostate cancer This guideline makes a weak recommendation against offering systematic PSA screening based on an updated systematic review.Prostate-Specific Antigen (PSA) is a first-line recommended serum biomarker used for prostate cancer (PCa) screening. However, this test has critical limitations in specificity within the gray eyssmU.
