Riassunto

This state-of-the-art reference provides a comprehensive review of prostate specific antigen (PSA) and related prostate markers-examining velocity, density, and age-specific reference ranges for increased sensitivity in PSA tumor identification and selection of patient therapies.
Supplemented with helpful drawings, photographs, and tables that reinforce and clarify essential issues!
Considering PSA as a monitor for cancer, Prostate Specific Antigen explores

PSA levels during radiation, chemotherapy, and hormone therapy treatments

increased PSA levels in older men

the effect of acute urinary retention, acute bacterial prostatitis, and benign prostatic hyperplasia on PSA concentration levels

and more!
With contributions by over 30 internationally distinguished experts and containing nearly 2000 timely references, Prostate Specific Antigen is an essential tool for all urologists and urologic surgeons; medical, urologic, and radiation oncologists; pathologists; clinical chemists and biochemists; primary care physicians; and fellows, residents, and medical students in these disciplines.
