Exposure to Heavy Metal Elements May Significantly Increase Serum Prostate-Specific Antigen Levels With Overdosed Dietary Zinc

2021-04-27

Abstract excerpt

<title>Abstract</title> <p><bold>Background: </bold>Serum<bold> </bold>prostate-specific antigen (PSA) is a primary metric for diagnosis and prognosis of prostate cancer (PCa). Exposure to heavy metals, such as lead, cadmium, mercury, and zinc can impact PSA levels in PCa patients. However, it is unclear whether this effect also occurs in men without PCa, which may lead to the overdiagnosis of PCa.<bold>Method: <...
