ABSTRACT
Background: prostate cancer presents the second most frequent malignant tumor in men in Cuba, only preceded by lung cancer. This type of cancer is also the second in causing more deaths in this group; besides, it affects the quality of life. Since there is a proportional correlation between the values of the prostate-specific antigen (PSA) and the anatomical-clinical results, some diagnosis will be made in early stages; as a result, treatments will be early applied with a better prognosis.
Objective: to describe the correlation between the values of PSA and the anatomical-clinical results in patients with prostate cancer.
Methods: an observational, descriptive, prospective, cross-sectional study was conducted with the objective of correlating the values of PSA and the anatomical-clinical results in patients diagnosed with prostate cancer in the Maria Curie Provincial Oncological Hospital of Camagüey, from January, 2010 to January, 2014.
Results: the greatest number of patients with prostate cancer was found between 65-84 years old. The PSA level that had the greatest frequency of positive cases was of 10-25 ng/ml, followed by the level of more than 25 ng/ml. Normal results of PSA do not exclude the existence of prostate cancer and the values of more than 25 ng/ml bore a close relation with the results of the biopsy and rectal touch.
Conclusions: the correct performance in the PSA test and in the rectal touch lead to the early diagnosis of prostate cancer with a proper anatomical-clinical correlation.
