They say this results in many men getting unneeded treatment for cancer, leaving them impotent or incontinent.Some U.S. urologists strongly dispute the panel's recommendation, saying many men could suffer and die a painful death without the tests.Prostate cancer kills about 30,000 American men a year.Many men 50 years and older come down with prostate cancer. But the disease often develops so slowly that many victims never know they have it and often die from causes other than prostate cancer.资料:Prostate-specific antigenFrom Wikipedia, the free encyclopediaProstate-specific antigen (PSA), also known as gamma-seminoprotein or kallikrein-3 (KLK3), is a glycoprotein encoded in humans by the KLK3 gene. PSA is a member of the kallikrein-related peptidase family and is secreted by the epithelial cells of the prostate gland. PSA is produced for the ejaculate, where it liquefies semen in the seminal coagulum and allows sperm to swim freely.[2] It is also believed to be instrumental in dissolving cervical mucus, allowing the entry of sperm into the uterus.[3]PSA is present in small quantities in the serum of men with healthy prostates, but is often elevated in the presence of prostate cancer or other prostate disorders.[citation needed] While serum PSA measurement is frequently used in prostate cancer screening, its value is controversial, and the United States Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) does not recommend its routine use in healthy men.[4] The USPSTF found that PSA-based prostate cancer screening conveys small or non-existent reductions in prostate-cancer–specific mortality, and is associated with overdiagnosis and over-treatment.[5]前列腺特异抗原维基百科,自由的百科全书前列腺特异抗原(Prostate Specific Antigen ,PSA)血浆前列腺特异抗原浓度升高是提示前列腺癌的敏感监测指标;但不能作为确诊指标。由于前列腺癌不是造成血浆前列腺特异抗原浓度升高的唯一原因;良性前列腺增生以及感染或人为因素也会引起血浆前列腺特异抗原浓度升高。在前列腺特异抗原测定的基础上,进一步细化;以提高前列腺特异抗原对前列腺癌诊断精确度引入以下概念,为临床工作提供数据鉴别:f PSA /t PSA:前列腺特异抗原(PSA)有总前列腺特异抗原(tPSA)、结合前列腺特异抗原(cPSA)、游离前列腺特异抗原(fPSA)之分,tPSA= cPSA+ fPSA ;f PSA /t PSA比值对于鉴别前列腺癌与良性前列腺增生比tPSA精确。前列腺特异抗原密度(PSAD):即,血浆前列腺特异抗原浓度除以前列腺体积。由于良性前列腺增生是前列腺实质细胞数量增多而造成前列腺体积的增大,常会引起不同程度的血前列腺特异抗原(PSA)浓度升高。有助前列腺癌相与良性前列腺增生症鉴别。由于前列腺特异抗原(PSA)测试药盒产自多家;t PSA,尤其是 f PSA /t PSA 、PSAD的正常值以测试实验室提供数据为准。
