The diagnosis and management of prostate cancer have substantially changed over the last 3 decades. Serum prostate-specific antigen (PSA) was adopted for screening in the 1990s after it was found to be a sensitive indicator of disease. Because of a lack of specificity for significant disease, indiscriminate PSA testing led to overdiagnosis and overtreatment. Several biomarkers have been developed that are superior to PSA in stratifying a man's risk for harboring potentially lethal prostate cancer.
在过去30年里,前列腺癌的诊断和治疗发生了重大变化。血清前列腺特异性抗原(PSA)在20世纪90年代被发现是一种疾病敏感指标后,被用于筛查。由于对重大疾病缺乏特异性,不加区分的PSA检测导致了过度诊断和过度治疗。已经开发出了几种生物标志物,它们在评估男性患潜在致命性前列腺癌的风险方面优于PSA。
