To examine the distribution of total prostate-specific antigen (tPSA) and percentage of free/total PSA (%f/tPSA) values in patients undergoing prostate cancer screening in Canada.
The data from 4 consecutive annual prostate cancer screening events held in Montreal, Canada were examined with respect to age, tPSA, and %f/tPSA in 3222 men.
Within the entire cohort, the median PSA level was 1.0 ng/mL and the median %f/tPSA was 26%. Using the interquartile range around the median, the upper bound for tPSA was situated at 1.9 ng/mL and the lower bound for %f/tPSA was at 19%. The 90th percentile for the median tPSA was 3.8, and the 10th percentile for the median %f/tPSA was 14. PSA and %f/tPSA showed a relation with age. The 75th percentile for the median tPSA level in the age category 40-49, 50-59, 60-69, and 70-79 years was 1.1, 1.4, 2.6, and 3.6 ng/mL, respectively. The 25th percentile for the median %f/tPSA level in the age category 40-49, 50-59, 60-69, and 70-79 years was 19, 21, 18 and 19 ng/mL, respectively.
Our results can guide clinicians regarding the population-based distribution of serum tPSA and %f/tPSA values. Those values can be used for the purpose of counseling, as well as in the informed consent process before prostate biopsy.
研究加拿大接受前列腺癌筛查患者的总前列腺特异性抗原(tPSA)分布及游离/总PSA百分比(%f/tPSA)值。
对在加拿大蒙特利尔连续举办的4次年度前列腺癌筛查活动中3222名男性的年龄、tPSA和%f/tPSA数据进行研究。
在整个队列中,PSA水平中位数为1.0 ng/mL,%f/tPSA中位数为26%。使用中位数周围的四分位间距,tPSA的上限为1.9 ng/mL,%f/tPSA的下限为19%。tPSA中位数的第90百分位数为3.8,%f/tPSA中位数的第10百分位数为14。PSA和%f/tPSA与年龄相关。40 - 49岁、50 - 59岁、60 - 69岁和70 - 79岁年龄组中tPSA水平中位数的第75百分位数分别为1.1、1.4、2.6和3.6 ng/mL。40 - 49岁、50 - 59岁、60 - 69岁和70 - 79岁年龄组中%f/tPSA水平中位数的第25百分位数分别为19、21、18和19 ng/mL。
我们的结果可为临床医生提供基于人群的血清tPSA和%f/tPSA值分布指导。这些值可用于咨询目的,以及前列腺活检前的知情同意过程。
