## Abstract Prostate‐specific antigen (PSA) is a widely used marker for prostate cancer. In the literature, there are reports of nonprostatic expression of PSA that potentially can affect early diagnosis. However, the results are scattered and inconclusive, which motivated us to conduct a more comp

## BACKGROUND. Human glandular kallikrein (hK2), the prostate specific antigen (PSA) close homologue, possesses approximately 80% structure identity with PSA. The identification of PSA was an important step in the detection of prostate carcinoma (PCa). Thus, hK2 measurement in the serum has the po
Human glandular kallikrein-I gene (hGK-I) is closely related to the gene of human prostate-specific antigen (PSA) and both genes are expressed in the human prostate. We have studied PSA and hGK-I mRNAs in human prostatic tissue samples from patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) or adenoca
## Abstract Most pretreatment risk‐assessment models to predict biochemical recurrence (BCR) after radical prostatectomy (RP) for prostate cancer rely on total prostate‐specific antigen (PSA), clinical stage, and biopsy Gleason grade. We investigated whether free PSA (fPSA) and human glandular kall
## BACKGROUND. Human prostate-specific antigen (PSA) and human kallikrein 2 (hK2) are expressed primarily by prostate epithelial cells. PSA and hK2 both exist as free protein and complexed with protease inhibitors (e.g., ␣1-antichymotrypsin, ACT) in serum. The expression of PSA and hK2 in LNCaP ce
## Abstract Most models to predict biochemical recurrence (BCR) of prostate cancer use pretreatment serum prostate‐specific antigen (PSA), clinical stage and prostate biopsy Gleason grade. We investigated whether human glandular kallikrein 2 (hK2) and free prostate‐specific antigen (fPSA) measured
