Prostate-specific antigen (PSA) is the most accurate serum marker for cancer of the prostate (CAP). However, its sensitivity and specificity are suboptimal, especially at values ranging between 4.1 and 10.0ng/ml (monoclonal), because benign prostatic hypertrophy and hyperplasia (BPH) and CaP frequen
Background. The serum kinetics of prostate-specific antigen (PSA) after radiation therapy for prostate cancer are not well characterized, and the potential prognostic significance of serum half-lives and of serum doubling times is unclear. This study was designed to address those issues. Methods. O
