LLORENTE, Carlos; MORENA, José Manuel de la e ALVAREZ ARDURA, Manuel. PSA doubling time as a new diagnostic and prognostic method for prostate cancer. Arch. Esp. Urol. [online]. 2006, vol.59, n.10, pp.1083-1087. ISSN 0004-0614.
Objectives: To review the value of PSA kinetics in the diagnosis and prognosis of prostate cancer. Methods: Review of the literature through a Medline search. Conclusions: A pre-tretament PSAV value 2ng/ml/yr is a risk factor for increased mortality from prostate cancer after surgery or radiation therapy. A PSADT<3ms is indicative of reduced survival after treatment. For patients with PSA recurrence after surgery a PSADT10 is more likely associated with local recurrence.
