Pretreatment tumor volume estimation based on total serum psa in patients with localized prostate cancer

Pretreatment tumor volume estimation based on total serum psa in patients with localized prostate cancer

OBJECTIVES: To establish a formula that estimates tumor volume in localized prostate cancer based on serum prostate specific antigen levels. One of the main prognostic variables in localized prostate cancer is tumor volume, which can be precisely defined only after prostate extirpation. The present...
