## 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.
Decalcified bone marrow biopsies containing metastatic tumor from 36 patients were stained for prostate-specific antigen (PSA) and prostatic acid phosphatase (PAP) using the avidin biotin compIex (ABC) immunoperoxidase technique. Of these patients, 22 had known prostate primaries, ten had known nonp
