Definitions
- the present invention relates to a method for diagnosing prostatic adenocarcinoma (CAP) in a male human patient without requiring a biopsy.
- the total prostate specific antigen (PSA) level in the blood or serum ofthe patient is measured. If the patient has a total PSA level of between 2.5 ng/ml and 20.0 ng/ml, then the free PSA level in the blood or serum ofthe patient is measured. The proportion of free PSA to total PSA is calculated. If this proportion is less than about 7%, then the patient is diagnosed as having CAP.
- the present method can also be used on patients that have a total PSA of at least 10.1 ng/ml, but have also had a negative prostate biopsy.
- Prostate specific antigen is recognized as a molecular marker for prostatic adenocarcinoma (CAP).
- CAP prostatic adenocarcinoma
- Blood or serum based immunoassays measuring the total PSA level have been commercially available for a number of years. However, the detection of total PSA does not necessarily mean that a patient has CAP.
- a total PSA test has to satisfy two elements: a high sensitivity — the ability to detect disease when present, and a high specificity — the ability to detect true negatives and avoid false positives. From clinical experience, total PSA tests have become accepted as being predictive of CAP if the total PSA level is greater than 10.0 ng/ml.
- the present invention relates to a method for diagnosing CAP in a male human patient without requiring a biopsy.
- a patient has a total PSA level of 4.0 ng/ml to 10.0 ng/ml, then he must undergo a prostate needle biopsy, an anesthetic-free operation performed transrectally involving substantial pain and discomfort, especially if a sextant biopsy is performed which requires taking six samples.
- the present method eliminates the need for about 30% of those patients to undergo such a biopsy for initial diagnosis.
- a patient diagnosed with CAP from the use ofthe ⁇ 7% F/T proportion cutoff would need a prostate biopsy to locate the extent and location of CAP in his prostate.
- the present method comprises four steps. First, one measures the PSA level in the blood or serum ofthe patient. Second, one measures the free PSA level in the blood or serum of a patient, but only if he has a total PSA level of between 2.5 ng/ml and 20.0 ng/ml. (As in the past, if the patient has a total PSA level below 2.5 ng/ml, then he is diagnosed to have benign prostatic disease. If the patient has a total PSA level above 20.0 ng/ml, then he is diagnosed as having CAP.) Third, one calculates the proportion of free PSA to total PSA.
- Another embodiment ofthe present invention is a report for a diagnosis of a male human patient having CAP without requiring a biopsy.
- This report comprises listing a total PSA level of between 2.5 ng/ml and 20.0 ng/ml and listing a free PSA to total PSA proportion which is less than about 7%.
- the present method also comprises three steps. First, one measures the free PSA level in the blood or serum of the patient.
- a further embodiment ofthe present invention is a report for a diagnosis of a male human patient having CAP who has a total PSA level of at least 10.1 ng/ml and has had a negative prostate biopsy without requiring a further prostate biopsy to confirm CAP.
- This report comprises a listing a total PSA level of between 10.1 ng ml and 20.0 ng/ml and a listing of a free PSA to total PSA proportion which is less than about 7%.
- FIGURE 2 is a diagrammatic view ofthe free PSA assay used in the present invention.
- FIGURE 4 is a view of a pathology report according to the present invention wherein the patient has already been determined to have a total PSA level of at least 10.1. but has had a negative biopsy.
- Example in a clinical study to validate the present invention 334 patients were tested. Classified as "BENIGN”, 90 males were identified as being between 45 years old and 75 years old, having benign prostate disease histologically confirmed by sextant needle prostate biopsy, and no history of cancer. The age mean was 65. Classified as "CAP”, 174 males were identified as being between 45 years old and 75 years old and having primary CAP histologically confirmed by needle prostate biopsy. The age mean was 67. None ofthe above patients received any form of prostate-related treatment prior to blood draw. Total PSA was measured using the Tosoh assay described above, in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions. Free PSA was measured using the Dianon assav described above, in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions.
- Table 1 outlines the results of total PSA testing for patients in the 2.5 to 10.0 ng/ml range.
- Table 3 shows that the addition of calculating the F/T PSA proportion does not indicate how to differentiate between all patients having CAP and those having benign prostate disease. However, Table 3 does show that the addition of calculating the F/T PSA proportion indicates that one can differentiate between patients having CAP and those having benign prostate disease if the patients are over 60, rather than 60 and under.
- the model predicts a 95% probability for a patient having CAP that can be confirmed by sextant prostate biopsy using the ⁇ 7% F/T proportion cutoff.
- the use of a F/T proportion cutoff of ⁇ 7% gives an overall 92% chance ofthe patient having CAP.
- a probability of greater than 80% in these cases is regarded as sufficient to diagnose CAP, absent any contraindications.
- FIGURE 5 shows the distribution ofthe F/T proportion in the sample patients.
- the CAP patients can be separated benign prostate disease patients by using the about ⁇ 7% F/T proportion cutoff mark.
- the present method provides a powerful cost- saving clinical tool to the urologist.
- physicians can confidently order a prostate biopsy for a first-time patient having a total PSA level of between 2.5 ng/ml and 10.0 ng/ml, or reorder a prostate biopsy for those patients having a total PSA level of between at least 10.1 ng/ml to 20 ng/ml, but have had a prior negative biopsy.
- FIGURE 3 and 4 illustrates pathology reports that use the present method.
- the report includes a listing ofthe results of a first assay for total PSA.
- the total PSA level for the patient is between 2.5 ng/ml and 10 ng/ml. It also includes a listing of a calculation occurring from a free PSA assay — the free PSA to total PSA proportion.
- the F/T proportion is less than about 7%.
- the report includes a
- FIGURE 4 is a report for a patient that is being re-measured.
- the report includes a listing ofthe results of a first assay for total PSA. showing a total PSA level of at least about 10.1 ng/ml. It also includes a listing of a calculation occurring from a free PSA assay — the free PSA to total PSA proportion. The F/T proportion is less than about 7%.
- the report includes a diagnosis ofthe patient as having CAP.
