Measurement of insulin-like growth factor axis does not enhance specificity of PSA-based prostate cancer screening.
- Abstract:
-
OBJECTIVES: To examine whether measurement of insulin-like growth factor (IGF)-I, IGF-II, IGF binding protein (IGFBP)-2 or IGFBP-3, alone or in combination, enhanced the specificity of prostate cancer detection among men with a prostate-specific antigen (PSA) level of 3 ng/mL or greater beyond that achieved by the free/total PSA index. METHODS: Cross-sectional analysis was performed on blood samples taken from 597 asymptomatic men (79% of those biopsied) participating in a community case-fin...
