  7. 5. The diagnostic performance of prostate-specific antigen (PSA) in early detection of prostate cancer : considerations of sensitivity, specificity, lead-time and survival

    Author : Magnus Törnblom; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : PSA; free PSA; prostate cancer; sensitivity; specificity; lead-time; survival; epidemiology;

    Abstract : Background: Prostate cancer (PC) is the most common form of cancer, as well as the single major cause of cancer-related mortality among Swedish males. Recent reports indicate that screening of the serum levels of prostate-specific antigen (PSA) in asymptomatic men may result in decreases in both the incidence of metastatic disease and PC-specific mortality.
