    Abstract Objectives: To form a composite predictor variable that combines the effects of tumor length, serum prostate-specific antigen (PSA), and International Society of Urologic Pathologists (ISUP) grade on the observation of adverse prostatectomy pathology.
    Methods: Logistic regression analysis was used to demonstrate how tumor length, serum PSA, and ISUP grade related to adverse prostatectomy results and to derive weighting factors for a composite variable, cx.
    Results: The composite variable, cx, relates closely to adverse prostatectomy results as well as to observed PSA failure.
    Conclusions: The composite variable cx uses preoperative information that may allow the sorting of patients into low, intermediate, and high risk for adverse outcomes after prostatectomy.

    Abstract Objectives: To review the mathematics of kinetic changes in serum prostate-specific antigen (PSA) and to use a compartmental model to derive a new kinetic measure, alpha.
    Methods: The calculus of kinetic measures of PSA changes with time is presented, and a compartmental model is then used to derive alpha of serum PSA. Alpha is then tested for prognostic importance in 119 men who underwent prostatectomy.
    Results: The percentage of tumor in the prostate is closely related to alpha and to tumor length in diagnostic needle biopsies, but not to tumor grade. The presence of adverse pathology in the prostatectomy specimens (positive margins or T3 stage) is significantly associated with alpha, but not to tumor length or grade.
    Conclusions: The derived kinetic parameter, alpha, shows promise as a preoperative prognostic parameter, and may help sort patients into those with low vs high probability for adverse pathology features in the prostatectomy specimens.

    Abstract Objectives: To provide a mathematical background for understanding the phenomenon of analyte hemodilution using a kinetic analysis.
    Methods: The first assumption for this analysis is that change in concentration of any analyte, such as prostate-specific antigen (PSA), is due to the flux of the analyte from an organ into the blood minus its flux from the blood. What results is a relatively simple differential equation that emphasizes the importance of plasma volume, organ mass, and two rate constants.
    Results: The analyses demonstrate how serum PSA can be affected by plasma volume as well as body mass and how hemodilution due to obesity can be at least partly corrected for by expressing PSA in units of total mass or total mass density.
    Conclusions: At a time when obesity is prevalent, expressing analytes in units of total mass may make them relate more closely to disease status and prognosis.

    Abstract The objective of this study is to provide an up-to-date estimate of the incidence of adenocarcinoma detected during surveillance of Barrett's esophagus. Fifty-five longitudinal studies involving approximately 61 000 patients were reviewed. A general linear model analyses with Poisson link function was used to study how the number of cancer cases detected depended on study details. The studies seemed to follow the same statistical model, and the probability of developing Barrett's carcinoma during surveillance was found to depend on the following variables: how Barrett's metaplasia was defined, the number of patients studied, the mean time of follow-up, and the fraction of patients followed up for at least 5 years. The model derived from all the studies predicted that the per-person probability of developing cancer in 5 years of complete follow-up is approximately .0012.
