To determine whether there is a correlation between high Gleason score and free/total (f/t) prostate specific antigen (PSA) in patients newly diagnosed with prostate carcinoma.
The study included 272 prostate biopsy patients whose total PSA value ranged from 4-10 ng/ml. The patients were divided into 2 groups according to the f/t PSA ratio: Group 1 ≤ 15% and Group 2 > 15%. Furthermore, the groups were also compared to each other in terms of mild (≤ 6), moderate (= 7), and high (≥ 8) Gleason score.
Group 1 consisted of 135 (49.6%) patients and Group 2 consisted of 137 (50.4%) patients. While 27 (20%) patients had a high Gleason score in Group 1, only 10 (7.3%) patients had a high Gleason score in Group 2 (p = 0.008). Using Spearman's correlation test, we found that the f/t PSA ratios were observed to decrease significantly in all patients with increased Gleason scores (p = 0.002, r = -0.185).
According to our study, there is a relationship between higher Gleason score and decreased f/t PSA ratio. Therefore, f/t PSA can be an indicator for predicting the Gleason score.
确定新诊断的前列腺癌患者中高Gleason评分与游离/总(f/t)前列腺特异性抗原(PSA)之间是否存在相关性。
该研究纳入了272例前列腺活检患者,其总PSA值范围为4 - 10 ng/ml。根据f/t PSA比值将患者分为两组:第1组≤15%,第2组>15%。此外,还对两组患者在低(≤6)、中(=7)和高(≥8)Gleason评分方面进行了比较。
第1组有135例(49.6%)患者,第2组有137例(50.4%)患者。第1组中有27例(20%)患者Gleason评分高,而第2组中只有10例(7.3%)患者Gleason评分高(p = 0.008)。使用Spearman相关性检验,我们发现所有患者的Gleason评分升高时,f/t PSA比值均显著降低(p = 0.002,r = -0.185)。
根据我们的研究,较高的Gleason评分与降低的f/t PSA比值之间存在关联。因此,f/t PSA可作为预测Gleason评分的一个指标。
