Abstract:

Objective To investigate the role of prostate-specific antigen isoform 2(p2PSA) and its related marker prostate health index(PHI) in the diagnosis of prostate cancer. Methods Serum p2PSA,total prostate-specific antigen(t-PSA) and free prostate-specific antigen(f-PSA) were determined in 50 patients with prostate cancer and 46 patients without prostate cancer. The f-PSA%,p2PSA% and PHI were calculated. Receiver operating characteristic(ROC) curve was used to evaluate the diagnostic efficiency in the diagnosis of prostate cancer. Prostate cancer patients were classified into moderately differentiated adenocarcinoma group(Gleason score≤7,32 cases) and low/undifferentiated carcinoma group(Gleason score>7,18 cases). The results were analyzed comparatively. Results Age,t-PSA,f-PSA%,p2PSA,p2PSA% and PHI between prostate cancer group and non-prostate cancer group had statistical significance(P<0.05),and there was no statistical significance in f-PSA between the 2 groups(P>0.05). ROC curve analysis showed that the areas under curves(AUC) of PHI,p2PSA%,p2PSA,f-PSA% and t-PSA in the diagnosis of prostate cancer were 0.870,0.837,0.762,0.671 and 0.652,respectively. The diagnostic efficiency of PHI and p2PSA% in prostate cancer was better than that of f-PSA% and t-PSA. The levels of f-PSA,p2PSA,f-PSA% and PHI in low/undifferentiated carcinoma group were higher than those in moderately differentiated adenocarcinoma group(P<0.05),and there was no statistical significance in p2PSA% and t-PSA between the 2 groups(P>0.05). Conclusions The diagnostic efficiency of PHI for prostate cancer is better than that of t-PSA and f-PSA%,which can be used as an auxiliary diagnostic method for prostate cancer in clinic.
