Une corrélation statistiquement significative a été identifiée entre le poids de la prostate atteinte de HBP et le taux sérique pré-opératoire d’ASP.

PSA [prostate specific antigen] test results show the level of PSA detected in the blood. The PSA level that is considered normal for an average man ranges from 0 to 4 nanograms per milliliter (ng/ml). A PSA level of 4 to 10 ng/ml is considered slightly elevated; levels between 10 and 20 ng/ml are considered moderately elevated; and anything greater is considered highly elevated. 2, record 5, English, - prostate%20specific%20antigen%20level

Même si le test révèle un taux anormalement élevé d’APS ou que le toucher rectal est anormal, cela ne signifie pas nécessairement qu'il y ait cancer. En fait, environ 80 % des hommes dont un des deux tests est anormal n’ auront pas le cancer de la prostate. Cependant, si le taux d’APS est très élevé ou que les deux tests sont anormaux, la probabilité que l'on trouve un cancer est de 50 % ou plus. 3, record 5, French, - taux%20d%27antig%C3%A8nes%20prostatiques%20sp%C3%A9cifiques

Les marqueurs biochimiques : un certain nombre de cancers libèrent dans la circulation sanguine des substances caractéristiques du type de tumeur auquel ils appartiennent. Ainsi, les tumeurs de la prostate sécrètent le PSA(prostate specific antigen), certains cancers digestifs l'antigène carcino-embryonnaire, les tumeurs du foie l'alpha-foeto-protéine, les cancers différenciés de la thyroïde la thyroglobuline, les cancers médullaires de la thyroïde la thyrocalcitonine. Ces marqueurs ne sont jamais spécifiques d’un cancer, ils peuvent être aussi bien sécrétés par des tumeurs bénignes ou même, dans certaines circonstances, des tissus sains. Néanmoins, ils ont fait faire des progrès considérables. En premier lieu, parce que, lorsqu'on soupçonne l'existence d’un cancer sans connaître le tissu au niveau duquel celui-ci se développe, ils apportent un élément utile d’orientation. Ensuite, et surtout, parce que l'évolution du taux sanguin du marqueur permet de suivre l'évolution du cancer sous traitement; la disparition de ce marqueur confirme la rémission complète, cependant qu'une remontée ultérieure fait craindre un récidive. Les marqueurs permettent ainsi de piloter le traitement et incitent à rechercher une lésion résiduelle si, à la fin du traitement, leur taux reste anormalement élevé, puis à rechercher une récidive s’ils s’élèvent à nouveau. 1, record 8, French, - marqueur%20biochimique
