Molecular forms of prostate‐specific antigen in serum with concentrations of total prostate‐specific antigen <4 μg/L: Are they useful tools for early detection and screening of prostate cancer?

Molecular forms of prostate-specific antigen (PSA) improve the differentiation between benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and prostate cancer (PCa) in men with total PSA concentrations between 4 and 10 microg/l. To evaluate the diagnostic utility of free PSA (fPSA) and complexed PSA forms for identification of men with PCa in the low PSA range of <4 microg/l, total PSA (tPSA), alpha(1)-antichymotrypsin complexed PSA (PSA-ACT) and fPSA (Roche Elecsys [ES] system) as well as tPSA and complexed PSA (cPSA) (Bayer Immuno 1 system) were measured in archival serum samples from 31 untreated patients with PCa, 66 patients with BPH, and 90 men without prostatic disease. The median ratios of fPSA/tPSA, PSA-ACT/tPSA and cPSA/tPSA were significantly different between patients with BPH and PCa (27.2 vs. 19.4%, 64 vs. 88%, 77.2 vs. 88.2%, p < 0.05). No associations between PSA forms and tumor stage and grade were found. Analysis of the receiver operating characteristic curves showed that these ratios could discriminate better between BPH and PCa patients than determination of the analytes tPSA, fPSA, cPSA and PSA-ACT alone. The use of one of the ratios would have eliminated roughly half of the unnecessary biopsies in this study. The ratios should be considered as potential tools to increase the selectivity of PCa detection at low PSA concentration. The ratios fPSA/tPSA and cPSA/tPSA can be determined using commercially available assays so that one of these ratios could be preferred instead of PSA-ACT determination. The ratios could be useful in assessing the risk of PCa in the individual and therefore in deciding on prostate biopsy for final diagnosis.     

Serum insulin-like growth factor I/free prostate specific antigen (IGF-I/fPSA) ratio enhances prostate cancer detection in men with total PSA 4.0-10.0 ng/ml

BACKGROUND: Recent studies have suggested that IGF-I and IGFBP-3, in combination with PSA, may enhance PCa detection. This study was to investigate the use of serum IGF-I and IGFBP-3, and their combinations with prostate volume and fPSA in enhancing the discriminatory diagnosis of PCa in men with tPSA of 4.0-10.0 ng/ml. METHODS: Serum IGF-I and IGFBP-3 were determined by ELISA from 586 men with tPSA between 4.0 and 10.0 ng/ml. Of them, 281 were diagnosed with PCa and 305 without. ROC, univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were performed to evaluate the predictive performance of those parameters. RESULTS: IGF-I, IGFD, IGF-I/fPSA, and IGFBP-3/fPSA were significantly higher in PCa cases than benign controls, whereas the differences of IGFBP-3 and IGFBPD were statistically insignificant between the two groups, respectively. The AUC values indicated enhanced performance of IGF-I/fPSA ratio (AUC = 0.753) in PCa detection compared with the currently used f/tPSA (AUC = 0.689). Multivariate logistic regression confirmed the observed relationships and identified IGF-I/fPSA as independent factor in PCa presence. CONCLUSION: Our data show that IGF-I/fPSA as a promising marker can enhance PCa detection in ambiguous cases often found in the tPSA between 4.0 and 10.0 ng/ml.     

复合PSA及相关指标在前列腺癌诊断中的应用

Objective:To study the diagnostic value of complex PSA(cPSA),the calculated free/total PSA(f/t PSA) raio and total PSA(tPSA)in the differentiation of prostate cancer from benign prostate hyperplasia.Methods:The tPSA,cPSA and fPSA were measured using the Bayer ACS-180 chemiluminescence immuno-assay.152 patients(21 with prostate cancer and 131 with benign prostate hyperplasia proven by tissue pathology)whose serum total PSA ranged from 0.2-20.0ng/ml were accessed from July 2001 to May 2002 consecutively.The correlation between tPSA and cPSA was analyzed.The re-ceiver operator characteristic curves(ROC curve)were generated by plotting the sensitivity versus specificity.Areas under the curve were calculated for each assay.Logistic regression analysis was used to evaluate the ability of the indices as independent varia-bles to predict prostate cancer.Results:In the experimental group,the areas under the ROC curve of cPSA ,tPSA and fPSA/tPSA ratio were 0.811,0.799 and 0.376 respectively.The specificity for tPSA,fPSA/tPSA ratio and cPSA were 62%,57% and 4.7%,respectively,at cotoff yield-ing 95% sensitivity.Serum cPSA concentration was determined to be the best index among the three through logistic regression analy-sis.Conclusion:The serum levels of cPSA and tPSA are better indices than f/tPSA in the differentiation of prostate cancer from benign prostate hyperplasia.At the same level of sensitivity,cPSA has a higher specificity than tPSA.Serum cPSA may be a better indicator in the prediction of prostate cancer of early stage.     

Diagnostic Role of Serum Free-to-Total Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA) Ratio in Prostate Cancer with Serum Total Concentration of PSA below 4 ng/mL

Purpose: To examine the effectiveness of serum free-to-total prostate specific antigen ratio (%fPSA) forthe detection of prostate cancer (PCa) in men with different serum total PSA (tPSA) categories. Materials andMethods: From January 2010 to December 2013, a total of 225 patients with lower urinary tract symptoms(LUTS) underwent tPSA and %fPSA measurements. Histological examination with calculation of Gleasonscore and whole body bone scans were performed in identified cases of PCa. Results: PCa was diagnosed in 44(19.6%) patients and the remaining 181 patients had benign prostate disease. PCa was detected in 5 (23.8%),13 (8.7%) and 26 (47.3%) cases with tPSA level ranges ≤4 ng/ml, 4 to 10 ng/ml and >10 ng/ml, respectively. Theaverage Gleason score was 7.2±0.2. Some 6 (13.6%) out of 44 PCa patients had bone metastases. The sensitivitywas 80% and specificity was 81.3% at the cut-off %fPSA of 15% in PCa patients with a tPSA level below 4 ng/mL. A lower %fPSA was associated with PCa patients with Gleason score ≥7 than those with Gleason score≤6 (11.7±0.98 vs. 16.5±2.25%, P=0.029). No obvious relation of %fPSA to the incidence of bone metastasis wasapparent in this study. Conclusions: The clinical application of %fPSA could help to discriminate PCa frombenign prostate disease in men with a tPSA concentration below 4 ng/mL.     

The predictive value of prostate cancer biomarkers depends on age and time to diagnosis: towards a biologically-based screening strategy

Both benign and malignant prostate diseases elevate total prostate-specific antigen (tPSA), and the incidence of benign disease increases markedly with age. There is evidence, however, that free-to-total PSA ratio (%fPSA) and human kallikrein 2 (hK2) more closely reflect the malignant process. We tested the hypothesis that tPSA levels are more strongly predictive of cancer in younger when compared to older men, whereas %fPSA and hK2 are more strongly predictive in men tested closer to diagnosis. The study included 13,676 men age >/= 44 in Sweden, where PSA screening was uncommon during the study period. fPSA, tPSA and hK2 were measured in archived plasma collected during 1974-1986 in 501 men subsequently diagnosed with prostate cancer up to 1999 and in 1,292 matched controls. The predictive value of tPSA was lower in older men (p = 0.003) but was not strongly affected by time to diagnosis (p = 0.3); the predictive value of hK2 was higher closer to diagnosis (p < 0.0005) but was not modified by age (p = 0.7). A model including tPSA, fPSA and hK2 was superior (p = 0.02) to tPSA alone in older (AUC 0.819 vs. 0.794), but not in younger men (0.758 vs. 0.759). Total PSA can be used as a single marker at early middle age to predict long-term risk of prostate cancer and thus to determine intensity of subsequent screening. In contrast, %fPSA and hK2 add important predictive value in older men and much closer to diagnosis. Strategies for prostate cancer screening should be based on thorough understanding of the interaction of kallikrein-related biomarkers with prostate pathobiology.     

Population-based screening for prostate cancer by measuring free and total serum prostate-specific antigen in Iran.

PURPOSE: To evaluate the natural background of prostate cancer in Iran a large population-based study of screening using total prostate-specific antigen (tPSA) and per cent free PSA (fPSA) as the initial test was performed. MATERIALS AND METHODS: For 9 years (1996 to 2004) in Tehran, Iran, 3670 Iranian men older than 40 years were mass checked by PSA-based screening. They were invited to have a digital rectal examination (DRE), serum PSA assay and transrectal ultrasonography (TRUS)-guided sextant prostate biopsy to see if the DRE was clinically suspicious of malignancy, the serum PSA was > or =2.1 ng/ml or free-to-total PSA (f/tPSA) ratio < or=15%. RESULTS: In 433 (11.8%) of screened males, tPSA levels exceeded the cut-off value of > or =2.1 ng/ml and 128 prostate cancers were diagnosed [positive predictive value (PPV) 29.6%] corresponding to an overall detection rate of 3.5%. Altogether 138 cancers were detected (detection rate 3.8%); none were stage M(1), three were stage N(+) and 4 stage T(3). A threshold tPSA of > or =2.1 ng/ml would have detected 128 cancers in 447 biopsied men (PPV 29%). There were 109 of 138 (79%) men with cancer who had an f/tPSA of < or =15%, while 152 of 305 (49.8%) with benign biopsies had a f/tPSA of < or =15%, which corresponds to a PPV of 30.8%. CONCLUSION: PSA-based screening with low PSA cut-off values increase the detection rate of clinically significant, organ confined and potentially curable prostate cancer. Further studies are warranted in order to determine the incidence and prevalence of prostate cancer in different ethnic groups.     

Free PSA isoforms and intact and cleaved forms of urokinase plasminogen activator receptor in serum improve selection of patients for prostate cancer biopsy

Clinicians currently use simple cut-points, such as serum prostate-specific antigen (PSA) >or=4 ng/ml, to decide whether to recommend further work-up for prostate cancer (PCa). As an alternative strategy, we evaluated multivariable models giving probabilities of a PCa diagnosis based on PSA and several circulating novel biomarkers. We measured total PSA, free PSA (fPSA), fPSA subfractions (single-chain fPSA-I and multichain fPSA-N), total human glandular kallikrein 2 (hK2) and full-length and cleaved forms of soluble urokinase plasminogen activator receptor (suPAR) in pretreatment serum from 355 men referred for prostate biopsy. Age and total PSA were combined in a "base" regression model to predict biopsy outcome. We then compared this base model to models supplemented by various combinations of circulating markers, using concordance index (AUC) to measure diagnostic discrimination. PCa prediction was significantly enhanced by models supplemented by measurements of suPAR fragments and fPSA isoforms. Addition of these markers improved bootstrap-corrected AUC from 0.611 for a cut-point and 0.706 for the base model to 0.754 for the full model (p=0.005). This improved diagnostic accuracy was also seen in subanalysis of patients with PSA 2-9.99 ng/ml and normal findings on DRE (0.652 vs. 0.715, p=0.039). In this setting, hK2 did not add diagnostic information. Measurements of individual forms of suPAR and PSA isoforms contributed significantly to discrimination of men with PCa from those with no evidence of malignancy.
