An understanding of the natural history of changes in prostate-specific antigen (PSA) may be valuable as a surrogate view of prostate dynamics, as a method to differentiate between benign and malignant growth, and as a means to assess the use of PSA as a tool for monitoring activity of chemopreventi
Prostate-specific antigen (PSA) is a wellcharacterized human prostate-specific glycoprotein. PSA has been shown to be the most effective immunohistologic marker for prostate cancer, as well as the most useful serologic test in staging and monitoring prostate cancer and in early detection of recurren
