Association Between Systemic Inflammatory Markers and Serum Prostate-Specific Antigen in Men without Prostatic Disease—The 2001–2008 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey

摘要

BACKGROUNDSerum prostate specific antigen (PSA) may be elevated in otherwise healthy men; systemic inflammation has been associated with cancer. The study of systemic inflammatory markers in men without clinical prostate disease, but with elevated PSA may characterize the subgroup of men at higher risk for subsequent prostate cancer.
