Prostate-Specific Antigen

First-line prostate-specific antigen testing with second-line multiparametric MRI was a more cost effective screening strategy for prostate cancer than biparametric MRI as a first-line approach, a study showed.

At any given PSA level, Black men are more likely than white men to harbor prostate cancer, according to analyses of a Veterans Health Administration cohort.

Prostate cancer screening could be improved through accounting for genetic factors that cause noncancer-related variations in PSA levels, according to study results presented at American Association for Cancer Research Annual Meeting.

PSA testing rates increased after the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force revised its guidance on prostate cancer screening in 2017, according to results of a large national cohort study in JAMA Oncology.

A proxy for prostate-specific membrane antigen PET/CT upstaging was strongly predictive of meaningful, long-term cancer-specific outcomes, according to results of a multinational cohort study published in JAMA Network Open.

In this video Kevin B. Ginsburg, MD, a urologic oncology fellow at Fox Chase Cancer Center in Philadelphia, discusses a study which examined PSA velocity as an indication for biopsy in correlation with biopsy progression for men on active surveillance. The study was presented at the American Urological Association's annual meeting.

Men who ate healthy plant-based diets lowered their risk for prostate cancer and erectile dysfunction, according to data from three abstracts that were presented during the virtual American Urological Association meeting.

National Prostate Cancer Awareness Month is observed every September.

Exercise appeared associated with decreased PSA levels, PSA velocity and prostate cancer cell growth in men with localized prostate cancer under active surveillance, according to a randomized study published in JAMA Oncology.

Of the known racial disparities in cancer incidence and mortality, the disproportionate burden of prostate cancer among Black men remains one of the most pronounced.
