## BACKGROUND. Two new prostate cancer markers, free-prostate specific antigen (f-PSA) and prostate specific membrane antigen (PSMA) were recently introduced. This report summarizes a prospective two-year multicenter test of their diagnostic or prognostic capabilities. Total PSA was also measured.
Antiserum to a human prostate-specific antigen was raised in a rabbit and utilized by immunoperoxidase staining to evaluate its potential value as a diagnostic histologic marker for tumors of prostatic origin. All primary and metastatic prostatic malignancies reacted positively, whereas nonprostatic
