We compared the ability of three prostate-specific antigen (PSA) ratios - free-to- total PSA ratio (fPSA/tPSA), free-to-complexed PSA ratio (fPSA/cPSA), and complexed-to-total PSA ratio (cPSA/tPSA) - to distinguish prostate cancer from benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).
We tested 258 consecutive patients who underwent transrectal ultrasound-guided prostate needle biopsy because of an abnormal digital rectal examination or a Tandem-R PSA of >4.1 ng/ml. Free PSA (fPSA) and total PSA (tPSA) were measured by Tandem-R assay. alpha(1)-Antichymotrypsin-complexed PSA (cPSA) was measured by Markit-M PSA-ACT assay.
Of the 258 patients, 204 had BPH, and 54 had prostate cancer. The specificity at 96% sensitivity for fPSA/tPSA, fPSA/cPSA, and cPSA/tPSA was 23, 25, and 33%, respectively. Of 162 patients with tPSA between 4.1 and 10.0 ng/ml, 132 had BPH and 30 had prostate cancer. The specificity at 96% sensitivity for f/tPSA, f/cPSA and c/tPSA was 32, 44, and 41%, respectively. There was no significant difference in the area under the receiver-operating characteristic curves among fPSA/tPSA, fPSA/cPSA, and cPSA/tPSA in the overall PSA range or in tPSA between 4.1 and 10.0 ng/ml.
fPSA/tPSA, fPSA/cPSA, and cPSA/tPSA did not differ in their ability to distinguish prostate cancer from BPH.
我们比较了三种前列腺特异性抗原(PSA)比值——游离PSA与总PSA比值(fPSA/tPSA)、游离PSA与复合PSA比值(fPSA/cPSA)以及复合PSA与总PSA比值(cPSA/tPSA)——区分前列腺癌与良性前列腺增生(BPH)的能力。
我们对258例因直肠指检异常或串联R法检测总PSA(Tandem-R PSA)>4.1 ng/ml而接受经直肠超声引导下前列腺穿刺活检的连续患者进行了检测。游离PSA(fPSA)和总PSA(tPSA)采用串联R法检测。α1-抗糜蛋白酶复合PSA(cPSA)采用Markit-M PSA-ACT法检测。
258例患者中,204例患有BPH,54例患有前列腺癌。fPSA/tPSA、fPSA/cPSA和cPSA/tPSA在96%灵敏度时的特异性分别为23%、25%和33%。在162例tPSA为4.1至10.0 ng/ml的患者中,132例患有BPH,30例患有前列腺癌。f/tPSA、f/cPSA和c/tPSA在96%灵敏度时的特异性分别为32%、44%和41%。在整个PSA范围内或tPSA为4.1至10.0 ng/ml时,fPSA/tPSA、fPSA/cPSA和cPSA/tPSA的受试者操作特征曲线下面积无显著差异。
fPSA/tPSA、fPSA/cPSA和cPSA/tPSA在区分前列腺癌与BPH的能力上没有差异。
