As a definite diagnosis of prostate cancer, puncture biopsy of the prostate is invasive method. The aim of this study was to evaluate the value of OPSAD (the ratio of PSA to the outer gland volume of prostate) as a non-invasive screening and diagnosis method for prostate cancer in a select population.
The diagnosis data of 490 subjects undergoing ultrasound-guided biopsy of the prostate were retrospectively analyzed. This included 133 patients with prostate cancer, and 357 patients with benign prostate hyperplasia (BPH).
The OPSAD was significantly greater in patients with prostate cancer (1.87 ± 1.26 ng/ml(2)) than those with BPH (0.44 ± 0.21 ng/ml(2)) (P < 0.05). Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis revealed that the performance of OPSAD as a diagnostic tool is superior to PSA and PSAD for the diagnosis of prostate cancer. In the different groups divided according to the Gleason score of prostate cancer, OPSAD is elevated with the rise of the Gleason score.
OPSAD may be used as a new indicator for the diagnosis and prognosis of prostate cancer, and it can reduce the use of unnecessary puncture biopsy of the prostate.
前列腺穿刺活检是确诊前列腺癌的侵入性方法。本研究旨在评估OPSAD(前列腺特异抗原与前列腺外腺体积之比)作为特定人群前列腺癌非侵入性筛查和诊断方法的价值。
回顾性分析490例接受超声引导下前列腺穿刺活检患者的诊断数据。其中包括133例前列腺癌患者和357例良性前列腺增生(BPH)患者。
前列腺癌患者的OPSAD(1.87±1.26 ng/ml(2))显著高于BPH患者(0.44±0.21 ng/ml(2))(P<0.05)。受试者工作特征(ROC)曲线分析显示,OPSAD作为诊断工具在诊断前列腺癌方面的性能优于前列腺特异抗原(PSA)和前列腺特异抗原密度(PSAD)。在根据前列腺癌Gleason评分划分的不同组中,OPSAD随Gleason评分升高而升高。
OPSAD可作为前列腺癌诊断和预后的新指标,并可减少不必要的前列腺穿刺活检的使用。
