PURPOSE: It is important to know for transurethral resection of prostate (TURP) affecting the serum prostate specific antigen (PSA) value how long one should wait before being able to ~ obtain an accurate and meaningful serum PSA level. We evaluated the change of serum PSA concentration in patients with benign prostate hypertrophy(BPH) before and after TURP in association with time course and resected prostatic weight. MATERIALS AND METHOD: The effect of TURP was examined in 27 patients with BPH (mean age: 64 years; range: 55-79 years). The serum PSA levels were measured serially (before and 1, 3, 5, 7, 14, 30, 60, 90 days after TURP) by Abott IMX assay. RESULTS: The level of serum PSA appeared to be consistent with prostatic volume by transrectal ultrasonography(TRUS) and was elevated by about 0.16 ng/mL for each gram of hyperplastic tissue present (p=0.375, p=0.058). TURP caused an immediate elevation in the serum PSA concentration, with a median increase of 19 ng/mL (p=0.0001). The larger resected group showed a dramatic and statistically significant PSA rise immediately after TURP than the smaller resected group (p=0.023). From the 15 post-operative day, the PSA concentrations continued slightly lower than that of pre-operative day (p=0.0001), and was still decreased on 30 days (p=0.0001). The median time to return to a baseline level of PSA was 30 days (range: 1460 days) after TURP. CONCLUSION: These findings indicate that TURP caused an immediate increase in the serum PSA level, which generally return to stable, baseline level within 30 days. However, because in some patients the serum PSA still remained elevated than upper normal limit after 30 days, it is recommended that a serum PSA determination should be obtained for at least 60 days after TURP.

PURPOSE: Atypical small acinar proliferation (ASAP) denotes the presence of suspicious glands with insufficient cytological architecture for a definitive prostate cancer diagnosis. We evaluated the subsequent prostate cancer detection rate of rebiopsy in patients with an initial diagnosis of ASAP. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Between January 2003 and December 2006, 1,416 men with suspected prostate cancer underwent a transrectal ultrasound-guided prostate biopsy, and 214 (15.1%) were diagnosed as having ASAP. Ninety-five of the 215 patients underwent at least one more biopsy. We evaluated the cancer detection rates after rebiopsy. RESULTS: In men with ASAP, 36 patients (37.9%) had prostate cancer. The cancer detection rates of the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd rebiopsies were 30.5%, 23.8%, and 40%, respectively. Mean patient age and prostate-specific antigen did not differ significantly between the prostate cancer and noncancer groups after rebiopsy. Prostate volume, however, was significantly smaller in the cancer group (p<0.05). CONCLUSIONS: Our results showed a detection rate for prostate cancer of 37.9% after an initial diagnosis of ASAP, which indicates that an initial diagnosis of ASAP mandates rebiopsy.

PURPOSE: Prostatic manipulation and surgery have been shown to increase serum prostate-specific antigen (PSA). We studied the effect of ejaculation on the serum PSA levels. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We evaluated 131 men(16 to 64 years old) who had no history of surgery or inflammatory disease of the urogenital tract. The total serum PSA, free PSA, serum total testosterone, free testosterone, luteinizing hormone(LH), and follicular stimulating hormone(FSH) were evaluated 1 hour after ejaculation. RESULTS: A PSA level was detected in all the men. There were statistically significant changes of the serum PSA level before and after ejaculation. We compared the parameters between increased PSA group and the decreased PSA group. There were significant differences between the two groups on comparison of the total prostate volume(25.4+/-3.6g vs 15.1+/-4.2g, respectively) and the transition zone volume(7.1+/-2.7g vs 5.3+/-1.1g, respectively). CONCLUSIONS: Based on our data, ejaculation affects the serum PSA concentration in young men, and there seems to be a physiological relationship between ejaculation and the PSA level. The larger the prostate volume, the more ejaculation has an effect on the serum PSA level.

The relationship between the serum values of prostate-specific antigen (PSA) and the histologic composition of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) was investigated in 32 symptomatic BPH patients undergoing transurethral resection of the prostate. We evaluated the free and total PSA concentrations by ACS-PSA2 (Ciba-Corning) assay. The stereological analysis was made by computer aided-area densitometry using H & E stained slides to quantify stromal and glandular areas in the resected prostate tissue. The total PSA concentration versus percentage of glandular area (%G) and stromal-glandular ratio (SGR) correlated significantly (p<0.05 for both) whereas the free PSA concentration and free/total PSA ratio did not (p>0.05 for both). These data suggest that total PSA is directly correlated with the histologic composition of the prostate in men with BPH, however, the proportion of free to total PSA was not informative to predict the histology. Thus, pretreatment evaluation of total PSA would be useful as part of an evaluation method of BPH for medical therapy.
