PSA VOLATILITY INDEX (PVI) & UPDATE ON PSA KINETICS 203,415 men developed prostate cancer 28,372 men died from prostate cancer John Phillips, MD 19 November, 2010 New York Medical College Hackensack University Medical Center
34 kD • Serine protease • 19q13 • Kallikrein-related peptidase III • Half-life total PSA 2-3 days • Free PSA <8 hours J Mol Biol (2008), 376, 1021-33
Serum Proteins Alpha-2-macroglobulin Alpha-Chymotrypsin Free isoforms: B-PSA, I-PSA, and pro-PSA

PSA cut-offs • 1986 “99% of healthy men < 4.0” • 1992 20-30% men > 4.0 • 1994 24,000 screened q 6 months # cancers 2.6-4 identical to 4-10 ng/ml • 1995 6,691 men PSA 4.1 missed 82% of cancers in men <50 • 2001 PSA 2.5 ng/ml for men <50

AUA Guidelines • PSA testing begin at 40 years of age + DRE if > 10 year life expectancy • Repeat PSA annually especially if above median for age • Prostate Cancer exists at all PSA levels • No absolute cut-off but PSA represents a “continuum of risk” • PSA presents an odds to a patient, then they can determine comfort zone
Other Scalar Tests • [-2] pro PSA AUC=.76 Sokoll et al. CEBM 2010 • TMPRSS2-ERG • PSAD >0.155 • TZ-PSAD • PCA3
Dynamic Tests • PSA doubling time (PSAdt) • Classically described after radiation therapy • Originally identified as a surrogate for failure • PSA dt < 3 months associated with decreased CSS • PSA dt < 6 months associated with increased BCF • Difficult to calculate
Dynamic Tests • PSA Velocity • Carter B.L.S.A. • PSA < 4 • PSAV was associated with CSS 25 years later • 92 % survival <.35 ng/ml/yr • 54% survival >.35 ng/ml/yr • Loeb: 0.75 cut off PSA 4-10 • 0.35 cut off PSA 2.5-4.0
Dynamic Tests • Can PSAV be used to help with screening? • Vickers et al. J U 184: 907-912 2010 • European Randomized Screening Study for Prostate Cancer ERSPC • N=2,742 • Median PSA 4.47 vs 4.69 (No Ca versus Ca) • Median volume 47 vs 36 (No Ca versus Ca) • PSAV 0.26 vs 0.28 ng/ml/yr (No Ca versus Ca) • AUC PSA 0.522 PSAV 0.551 PSA+PSAV 0.621 • “Little support for any clinically useful role for PSA velocity to help determine initial biopsy” • “May be useful after an initial negative biopsy”
Dynamic Tests • Can PSAV be used as a trigger in active surveillance? • Andrew Loblaw et al. (Laurence Klotz’ group) JU 184: 1942, 2010 • N=305 untreated men 6.1 years (range 0.5-13.3) • Zero prostate cancer deaths • Trigger for Treatment (TT) • PSA of 10 ng/ml TT 38% of the time • PSAV associated with TT 42-84% of the time • www.ASURE.com
PSA • Incredibly useful • Incredibly misused • Multiple forms • PSA, free PSA, proPSA • PSAV, PSAdt, Ln(PSA) • TMPRSS2ERG • PCA3

PSA volatility PSA volatility (PVI) • Hypothesis : Can a PVI discriminate benign from malignant states?
PVI: Retrospective Study Population • INCLUSION • At least 3 PSAs • At least 1 (one) prostate biopsy (TRUS or TP) • EXCLUSION • No Urothelial Ca • No h/o pelvic RT • No h/o hormone deprivation

PSA Volatility Index (PVI) HYPOTHESIS An e-based normalization for PSA scatter and a PVI may predict Ca from BPH
Retrospective Study Population N1=932 N2=279 • 107 Cancer • 172 BPH (e.g. BPH, atrophy, prostatitis, PIN) Independent variables • Age, race, IPSS, ASA, Meds, TRUS data, Grade, volume/core, # cores, surgical pathology • aPSA, aPSAV, aPSAdt, PSAD, Ln(PSA), PVI

Linear Regression y=mx+b For each increase of 1 unit of x, y increases by 4.88 %
PSA volatility and % cancer Or, as cancer volume decreases, PSA volatility increases
Logistic Regression = yes or no For each change in x, the probability of the outcome goes up by y
