Incidence of Adenocarcinoma Prostate and Correlation with S.PSA and Digital Rectal Examination and Bone Scintigraphy in Our Hospital
Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 10
Abstract
Serum prostate specific antigen (PSA) has been used as an accurate means of detecting and monitoring prostate cancer. An analysis of PSA levels, digital rectal examination and bone scan findings was carried out in a group of patients with a view to determine whether PSA can accurately predict bone metastases in carcinoma prostate and its correlation with digital examination and bone metastasis status. In 32 case series, 30 cases on followed-up after treatment of the primary, 2 of total 32 cases received hormonal therapy. one out of three with normal PSA had bone metastases. In 25 cases with positive bone scans, 23 had elevated PSA levels (mean 79.9 ng /ml). In an untreated patient with elevated PSA, a bone scan may be required to exclude bone metastases, whereas during follow-up after treatment, a normal PSA level may obviate a “routine” bone scan.
