Abstract

Background: Prostate cancer is a common cancer of men. According to Globocan 2018, the incidence and death rate of this cancer are respective ranking 2ndand 5th among the 10 most common cancers of men in the world. In Vietnam, prostate cancer is respective ranking 5th among 10 common cancers of men. Objectives: (1) Determine the value of PSA density, percentage of free PSA, percentage of p2PSA and prostate health index in diagnosis of prostate cancer. (2) Investigate the correlation between PSA density, percentage of free PSA, percentage of p2PSA and prostate health index with histopathological results in diagnosis of prostate cancer. Materials and methods: With 35 patients who were examined and treated with doubtful diagnosis of prostate cancer. Results: PHI index has the largest area under the ROC curve of 0.958 (CI 95%: 0.898-1.000); next is the PSA density of 0.861 (CI 95%: 0.676-1.000); percentage of free PSA is 0.701 (CI 95%: 0.446-0.957) and percentage of p2PSA has the smallest area under the ROC curve of 0.609 (CI 95%: 0.322-0.896). All 4 parameters are PSA density, percentage of free PSA, percentage of p2PSA and PHI have almost no correlation with Gleason score (correlation coefficient are respectively 0,469, 0,076, -0,406, 0,025 with p>0.05). Conclusion: PSA density and PHI are two good indicators used to diagnose prostate cancer. However, the cut-off point of PSA density and PHI are quite high.
