pubmed-article:12018107 | pubmed:abstractText | Serum prostate-specific antigen (PSA) determination has led to the increased detection of nonpalpable prostate cancer (T1c cancer). Some T1c cancers are small and may pose no threat. To examine the characteristics of patients with T1c cancer in Japan, patients treated with radical prostatectomy were reviewed. To predict potentially insignificant cancer, which is a candidate for delayed treatment, patients whose biopsy specimen showed relatively favorable features were also examined. | lld:pubmed |
