The aim of the present study was to identify the effects of physical exercise on PSA serum levels and the diagnostic validity of PSA in the screening of prostate cancer in subjects undergoing physical exercise during chronic hypoxia. The study was performed during trekking between 3,200 and 5,600 meters of altitude on K2 mountain for 26 days. Mean serum PSA values before and after exposure did not show significant difference due to physical exercise. These data indicate that physical exercise or mountain hypoxia do not affect the diagnostic validity of PSA.
本研究的目的是确定体育锻炼对血清前列腺特异抗原(PSA)水平的影响,以及在慢性缺氧期间进行体育锻炼的受试者中,PSA在前列腺癌筛查中的诊断有效性。该研究在海拔3200至5600米的乔戈里峰上进行了为期26天的徒步旅行期间开展。由于体育锻炼,暴露前后的平均血清PSA值未显示出显著差异。这些数据表明,体育锻炼或高原缺氧不会影响PSA的诊断有效性。
