Measurement of PSA velocity (PSAV) is often used in preference to PSA for the early detection of prostate cancer, but how much additional predictive information PSAV provides is unclear. Yu et al.

Unequivocal randomized trial data show that PSA velocity does not benefit decision making in localized prostate cancer. A recent paper suggests that the literature is wrong and that PSA velocity does ...

February 24, 2011 — A change in the level of prostate-specific antigen (PSA) — known as PSA velocity — is not a good predictor of prostate cancer. In fact, in the absence of other indications, such as ...

Some studies have suggested that the rate of change of prostate-specific antigen levels may correspond with prostate cancer survival. But this does not necessarily mean that PSA velocity will be ...

Guidelines of several cancer organizations have recommended that men with a rapid rise in PSA have a biopsy for prostate cancer, even if there is no other indication and the PSA is within the "normal" ...

The rate at which prostate-specific antigen levels change may help identify men with life-threatening prostate cancer, according to a study in the November 1 issue of the Journal of the National ...

Using absolute prostate-specific antigen (PSA) thresholds to make decisions about diagnostic testing and biopsies remains controversial (Journal Watch Top Story Dec 31 2004), but PSA velocity (the ...

Preoperative PSA velocity is more useful than PSA doubling time for predicting outcomes after radical prostatectomy for prostate cancer, according to researchers. William J. Catalona, MD, of the ...

PSA velocity is a poor predictor of prostate cancer and may lead to many unnecessary biopsies, according to a recent study. PSA velocity is a poor predictor of prostate cancer and may lead to many ...

Guidelines of several cancer organizations have recommended that men with a rapid rise in PSA have a biopsy for prostate cancer, even if there is no other indication and the PSA is within the "normal" ...

Getting your Trinity Audio player ready... Washington – How fast a man’s PSA level is rising – even before it’s high enough to trigger a doctor’s alarm – may signal that he has a life-threatening form ...
