Hot TopicArt of Urology - Prostatakarzinom: PSA and beyond - Part I Limitations of PSA and its derivatives
S. Shariat, H. Fajkovic et al. 8.4.2011This review article comes in two parts. In the first part, we discuss the limitations of measuring total PSA and its derivatives, such as the rate, or velocity, of the total PSA increase (total PSAV). In Part II we discuss the different molecular forms of PSA (i.e., free PSA, BPH-associated PSA, pro-PSA, and intact PSA), and select promising novel blood-based biomarkers for PCa diagnosis, staging, and prognosis.
