| 1 | [Effect of finasteride on the percentage of free PSA: implications in the early diagnosis of prostatic cancer]. | Finasteride | aminopeptidase puromycin sensitive | Homo sapiens |
| 2 | OBJECTIVE: To analyze the behaviour of free PSA percentage in finasteride-treated patients and to evaluate whether this ratio allows an increased PSA specificity in the early diagnosis of prostate cancer. | Finasteride | aminopeptidase puromycin sensitive | Homo sapiens |
| 3 | RESULTS: Median PSA level in PBH patients was 1.6 ng/mL for the finasteride-treated group and 3.5 for the untreated group, p < 0.0001. | Finasteride | aminopeptidase puromycin sensitive | Homo sapiens |
| 4 | CONCLUSION: Long-term treatment with finasteride reduces PSA serum concentration about 50% without changing the free PSA ratio. | Finasteride | aminopeptidase puromycin sensitive | Homo sapiens |
| 5 | Free PSA ratio allows to increase PSA specificity and avoid unnecessary biopsied also in finasteride-treated patients. | Finasteride | aminopeptidase puromycin sensitive | Homo sapiens |
| 6 | Free PSA ratio allows to increase PSA specificity and avoid unnecessary biopsied also in finasteride-treated patients. | Finasteride | aminopeptidase puromycin sensitive | Homo sapiens |
