## Background: In an effort to discover new prostate-specific antigens (psas) to enhance our understanding of the functions and behavior of the prostate and the complex processes involved in prostate tumor progression, the structure and function of the psm antigen has been elucidated. ## Methods:
We will review the evolution, benefits, and limitations of PSMA testing in the past, as well as its current and future value. Prostate cancer has been the most frequently diagnosed cancer and the second leading cause of cancer death in men in the United States. It has a wide spectrum of biological b

## 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.
