Body Mass Index and Prostate Specific Antigen Levels in Jamaican Men

Issue: 
Vol 60, Issue 3 (2011)
Pages: 
316–21
Synopsis: 
The relationship between serum PSA and BMI was examined in men referred to urology clinics in Jamaica. There was an inverse relationship between PSA and BMI among men with prostate cancer. Clinicians should take this relationship into account when interpreting patients’ PSA results.

ABSTRACT


Objective: To investigate the relationship between body mass index (BMI) and prostate specific antigen (PSA) levels in Jamaican men.

Prostate Cancer in Jamaica and the Wider Caribbean: It is Time to Consider Screening

Issue: 
Vol 61, issue 1 (2012)
Pages: 
90–3
Synopsis: 
This paper examines the role of screening and argues for increased screening in the population.

Prostate cancer (PCa) is the second most frequently diagnosed cancer in the world (1) and the leading cancer affecting men in Jamaica (2). If PCa is identified early in its natural history, it is eminently treatable with great potential for cure. The Caribbean has the highest age standardized PCa-specific mortality rates in the world (1). Why is this so and what can be done to reduce the morbidity and mortality associated with PCa in the Caribbean?
