It would be of value to compare the features of prostate cancer detected in various screening series around the world. Recently, some studies have demonstrated the value of pretreatment prostate-specific antigen (PSA) kinetics in predicting the outcome of radical prostatectomy and radiotherapy for men with localized prostate cancer. Therefore, the distribution of PSA velocity (PSAV) or PSA doubling...
To propose a “nomogram ranking” that gives an objective assessment of any treatment strategy from various institutions. It is difficult to objectively compare treatment outcomes for patients with prostate cancer among institutions because of the large differences in the clinicopathologic backgrounds and treatment strategies.From January 2001 to September 2005, 71 consecutive patients with locally...
According to epidemiologic surveys, the number of deaths from prostate cancer in Japanese men increased rapidly from 1970 to 2006. However, it is difficult to know the real incidence of, and mortality due to, prostate cancer because the reliability of death certificates and the cancer registry system in Japan are poor. Recently, several studies have demonstrated that baseline prostate-specific antigen...
We clarified that lead time bias in screen detected prostate cancer is important for evaluating the outcome of any individual screening system.Between 1992 and 2001, 195 and 958 prostate cancer cases with clinical T1c/T2N0M0 and T3N0M0 disease were enrolled in the current study as screen detected and outpatient clinic detected prostate cancer, respectively. Log 10 prostate specific antigen...
