Among patients with PSA-1 values < or = 1.0 ng/mL, the 5-year PSA relapse-free survival rate was 85% compared with 27%, respectively, among those with PSA values in the higher range of normal (P < ...

The purpose of this study was to determine if early PSA velocity (EPSAV), drawn from PSA values within normal ranges, predicts the later occurrence of abnormally high PSA values or positive ...
