Prognostic value of prostate‐specific antigen minimum after orchidectomy in patients with stage C and D prostatic carcinoma

Abstract: Objective To determine the significance of the minima of prostate‐specific antigen (PSA) levels after orchidectomy in patients with advanced carcinoma of the prostate (stage C and D disease), to thereby discriminate patients who have a statistically significant difference in prognosis and thus individualize their adjuvant treatment. Patients and methods A retrospective analysis of 50 patients (mean age 75.8 years) with extracapsular prostate cancer (58% stage C, 42% stage D disease) was performed. PSA measurem… Show more

“…Patients with a PSA nadir less 1 Ìg/l enjoyed a long-term remission, but patients with a PSA nadir between 1 and 10 Ìg/l developed progression after a mean of 16.7 months. The worst prognosis was heralded if patients never had a fall of PSA below 10 Ìg/l [Riedl et al, 1995].…”
