“…Previous studies have shown that IGFBP2 is overexpressed in glioma, prostate, and breast cancers (Kanety et al 1993;Busund et al 2005;Lin et al 2009). In prostate cancer, serum levels of IGFBP2 can be measured and levels increase as the cancer progresses (Shariat et al 2002;Bensalah et al 2008). IL-6, a cytokine that can be both pro-and antiinflammatory, plays an important role in the metastasis of prostate cancer (Shariat et al 2002).…”

“…These factors have resulted in early detection and increased incidence of the disease (Bensalah et al, 2008). Radical prostatectomy is the gold standard for the treatment of clinical localized PCa.…”

“…For example, elevated levels of PSA can reflect the presence of malignant cells but can also be related to non-malignant prostate disorders like benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), infection or chronic inflammations. [8] Increased serum PSA levels have been seen in patients with PCa, as well as in BPH and prostatitis, producing a high rate of false-positive cases. There also remains a wide overlap between PCa and BPH, particularly in patients with marginally increased PSA concentrations, in the range of 4-10 ng/mL, a range which is said to be a "grey zone" where there is a dilemma in differentiation between benign and malignant prostatic diseases; this dilemma has strengthened the necessity to improve PCa specificity by developing, combining and validating other diagnostic biomarkers with consideration of the sensitivity.…”

“…[23,24] Therefore, research has been dedicated to its prognostic and diagnostic importance, but with little supporting evidence for its use beyond common screening methods. [8] Several studies have reported that elevated CgA concentrations are associated with high-grade and advanced stage PCa. Some studies have indicated that increased serum CgA exceeded PSA increase as a marker of progression to hormone-refractory disease.…”
