1996年3月から30ヵ月間に前立腺全摘術を施行したT1c前立腺癌40例を対象に検討した.1)術前の生検でGleason scoreが7以上の症例は,PSA,PSAD,free PSA,% free PSAの全てにおいてGleason scoreが6以下の症例と有意な分布差を認め,全例腫瘍体積が0.5cm3以上であった.2)Gleason scoreが6以下の症例では,腫瘍体積0.5cm3の区分に,PSA,PSAD,free PSA,% free PSAのうち% free PSAが最も有用で,% free PSAが15ないし20より低い症例は,腫瘍体積が0.5cm3以上の可能性が高いことが示唆されたThe number of cases of stage T1c prostate cancer has dramatically been increasing since the introduction of PSA as a screening test. The patients with T1c prostate cancer are usually treated by radical prostatectomy. In this group, however, some cancers are of small tumor volume and with a Gleason score of less than 7. These cancers are considered to be good candidates for watchful waiting management. We have investigated 40 patients with T1c prostate cancer treated by radical prostatectomy between 1996 and 1998. All 9 patients harboring tumors of Gleason score 7 or greater had tumors larger than 0.5 cm3. We have investigated PSA-related parameters including total PSA (PSA), PSA density (PSAD), free PSA, and % free PSA in 31 patients with T1c cancers of Gleason score 6 or less in order to clarify good preoperative predictors of tumor volume. We compared the distribution of PSA, PSAD, free PSA, and % PSA between the larger and smaller tumor groups. There was no significant difference in PSA, PSAD, or free PSA value. The small tumor group had a greater mean % free PSA than the larger tumor group (23.27 versus 11.88, p = 0.007). Areas under receiver operating characteristic curves were 0.715, 0.794, 0.636, and 0.842 for PSA, PSAD, free PSA and % free PSA. In stage T1c prostate cancer of Gleason score 6 or less, % free PSA may be the most useful preoperative predictor for tumor volume of 0.5 cm3 or greater.
