| Popis: |
Prostate-specific antigen (PSA) is a marker specific to the prostate gland, and it is, therefore, possible to observe an increase in PSA above 4 ng/mL in cases of benign prostatic hypertrophy and cancer. But according to studies, a very high PSA level is most likely synonymous with metastatic prostate cancer.Our rare case concerns the management of a localized prostatic adenocarcinoma despite a very high PSA level of over 3000 ng/mL, with an enormous volume of prostate without invasion or distant metastasis.A very high PSA level can probably be a sign of metastatic prostatic adenocarcinoma, but not necessarily. |
