Baseline age, but not DRE status, had a significant effect on the likelihood of PSA conversion, with an odds ratio of 1.2 for men aged 70–74 years versus 55–59 years.

For men in their 70s, a PSA level of up to 5ng/ml is considered normal, while there are no PSA level limits for men aged 80 and over. A PSA score may also be considered abnormal if it spikes by a ...

Early cancer detection significantly improves treatment success and survival rates through various screening methods. Regular ...

For men under 50, a PSA level up to 2 ng/mL is considered normal, whereas for men aged 50-59, up to 3 ng/mL is said to be normal. This increases to 4 ng/mL for those aged 60-69 and up to 5 ng/mL ...

A new strategy that would limit screening for prostate cancer to men under 70 who are at risk or symptomatic would reduce the potential harm from overdiagnosis and overtreatment, an international ...

Commentary on a study on the effect of total PSA, PSA velocity, and PSA doubling time on the 11C-choline PET/CT detection rate in men with PSA relapse after radical prostatectomy.

And so this causes many men that have elevated PSA levels to be falsely elevated -- that is not caused by prostate cancer. In fact, it's wrong 80 percent of the time.

The men had a mean age of 60.1, median PSA of 0.92 ng/ml and mean pre-statin LDL level of 152 mg/dl. PSA changes were strongly linked with LDL changes; PSA levels declined by 1.1 percent for every ...

In the study, which excluded men with prostate cancer, PSA levels ranged from .2 to 20 ng/ml. The group of men with the genetic variants that raised PSA had mean levels of 2.0 ng/ml.
