I have been working on prostate cancer for10 years. You can ask your questions to me.
@Ceren G Korkmaz Clinicians in Turkey have been assesing prostate cancer solely using PSA; Recatl Digital Examination and radiologic imagining.
However there are other markers indicating that there is an abnormal proliferation in prostate such as Kİ-67,EPCA,PCA3,Fatty acid synthase and even RT-PCR allowing clincians to asssess whether the reason of rise in PSA due to a prostatitis or a cancerous tissue.
My question is this; In Turkey are these methods started to be used; if used for how long and where? (other than PSA,RDE,USG); prostate biopsies can also irritate prostate and lead a false increase in PSA and can hurt the patient (also including risk of infection).
If not; can you give reasons?
@Karan Sood; I have no opportunity to come India; as a researcher in this topic, can you suggest me a link to catch-up recent studies and a lead topic to join a research group.
Thank you all
