Title: The significance of serum prostate specific antigen prostate specific antigen density and density of the transition zone in incidental adenocarcinoma of prostate
Abstract: Objective To define the role of serum prostate specific antigen(PSA),PSA density(PSAD) and PSA density of the transition zone(PSAT) in incidental adenocarcinoma of prostate.Methods The data of 27 patients with incidental adenocarcinoma of prostate and 32 patients with BPH were collected,then compared PSA,PSAD,PSAT between the two groups.Results The mean PSA in incidental adenocarcinoma of prostate group and BPH group were(5.03±1.61) and(4.31±1.52) ,respectively ,with no statistic difference( P 0.01). The mean PSAD in incidental adenocarcinoma of prostate group and BPH group were (0.17±0.16) and(0.09±0.13) respectively with statistic difference( P 0.05). The mean PSAT in incidental adenocarcinoma of prostate group and BPH group were(0.29±0.10) and(0.15±0.16) respectively with obviously statistic difference( P 0.01).Conclusions The result suggest PSAD,PSAT could be used to distinguish incidental adenocarcinoma of prostate and BPH.
