Does the percentage of free prostate-specific antigen predict extracapsular disease in patients with clinically localized prostate cancer before radical prostatectomy?
The f/tPSA does not predict extracapsular disease in patients with clinically localized prostate cancer before radical prostatectomy. Knowing the f/tPSA provides no significant additional information in predicting extracapsular disease when the biopsy Gleason score and tPSA are known.
This in vitro model demonstrated that the aneurysm sac mean pressure (ASPmean) and the aneurysm sac pulse pressure (ASPpulse) were significantly influenced by the compliance of the aneurysm wall. These data highlight the need for further studies regarding endotension.
