The predictive values of various tests and examinations are assessed as they relate to prostate cancer progression and treatment. The usefulness of post-treatment biopsy specimens is greatest 2 years after radiation therapy completion. Gleason grading is not reliable in the setting of hormonal ablation therapy. For patients with extracapsular extension, the survival curves separate depending on whether positive or negative surgical margins are obtained. Prostate-specific antigen doubling time is increasingly used as an indicator of disease recurrence after local therapy and prostate cancer-specific survival.
对各种检测和检查的预测价值进行评估,评估内容涉及前列腺癌的进展和治疗。治疗后活检标本在放疗结束2年后的作用最大。在激素消融治疗的情况下,Gleason分级不可靠。对于有包膜外侵犯的患者,生存曲线根据手术切缘是阳性还是阴性而分开。前列腺特异性抗原倍增时间越来越多地被用作局部治疗后疾病复发和前列腺癌特异性生存的指标。
