... Introduction: To test the hypothesis that basal total testosterone (TT) levels are associated with International Society of Urologic Pathology (ISUP) tumor grade groups at the time of diagnosis of prostate cancer (PCA). Methods: From November 2014 to March 2018, preoperative TT and PSA were measured in 601...

... total testosterone (TT) as a predictor of positive surgical margins (PSM) in prostate cancer (PCA). Patients and methods: During the period from November 2014 to July 2017, preoperative TT was measured in 476 PCA patients undergoing only radical prostatectomy (RP) and including all risk classes...

... preoperative plasma levels of total testosterone (TT) and biopsy Gleason score (bGS) upgrading in prostate cancer (PCA) patients undergoing radical prostatectomy (RP). Materials and Methods: Exclusion criteria were treatment with 5α-reductase inhibitors, LH-releasing hormone analogues or testosterone...

... related to its natural history. The association of pretreatment total testosterone (TT) serum levels with prostate cancer is still a controversial topic. The objective of this study was to investigate potential associations and functional relationships of preoperative TT serum level and pathology-detected...

...), luteinizing hormone (LH), FSH, prolactin hormone (PRL), total testosterone (TT), free testosterone (FT), estradiol (ESR) and PSA were the continuous variables. Category variables were pT and biopsy/pathology Gleason pattern I/II (b/pGPI/II). The population was clustered according to the FSH/PSA ratio which...

... with prostate cancer. Age, percentages of positive cores (P+) at transrectal ultrasound scan biopsy, biopsy Gleason score (bGS), luteinizing hormone (LH), FSH, total testosterone, free testosterone (FT) and prostate-specific antigen (PSA) were the continuous clinical variables. All patients had not previously...

... relationships of total testosterone (tt) predicting free testosterone (ft) and total PSA. Patients and Methods: 128 operated prostate cancer patients were simultaneously investigated for tt, ft and PSA before surgery. Patients were not receiving 5α-reductase inihibitors, LH-releasing hormone analogues...
