Prostate health index (PHI) as a reliable biomarker for prostate cancer: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

2022

Abstract Objectives Prostate cancer (PCa) represents the second most common solid cancer in men worldwide. In the last decades, the prostate health index (PHI) emerged as a reliable biomarker for detecting PCa and differentiating between non-aggressive and aggressive forms. However, before introducing it in clinical practice, more evidence is required. Thus, we performed a systematic review and meta-analysis for assessing the diagnostic performance of PHI for PCa and for detecting clinically significant PCa (csPCa). Methods Relevant publications were identified by a systematic literature search on PubMed and Web of Science from inception to January 11, 2022. Results Sixty studies, including…

Sexual behavior and sexual health of transgender women and men before treatment: Similarities and differences

2020

BACKGROUND: There is a lack of research on the sexual health of transgender individuals, as well as a paucity of data about overall sexual health indexes before treatment. AIMS: This study aims to analyze the main issues involved in transgender individuals’ sexual behavior (with and without a partner), overall sexual health indexes, and potential predictors of sexual health, comparing trans men and trans women on all the variables assessed. METHODS: 260 trans people were recruited at a transgender health clinic in Spain. Participants completed the Sexual Behavior Questionnaire for transgender people before receiving any treatment. RESULTS: Overall results show that trans women have a more e…
