The prognostic value of PSA derivatives in favourable risk localised prostate cancer

2016 
5008 Introduction: Risk stratification in localized prostate cancer is based on PSA level, Gleason score and T stage. PSA derivatives may be of additional prognostic value. We have assessed the use of PSA derivatives in the prediction of histologic disease progression on repeat biopsy in patients on active surveillance. Methods: In a prospective cohort study of active surveillance, men with untreated, low- and intermediate-risk, clinically localized prostate cancer (T1/2a, PSA 50 %, or an increase in Gleason score from ≤ 6 to ≥ 7. Standard clinical variables and PSA derivatives were analysed with respect to histologic progression. Multivariate analysis was performed including all standard variables both with each PSA derivative individually, and with all PSA derivatives. Results: 175 men had...
