Background. Prostate specific antigen (PSA) is a zymogen of a 33-kilodalton (kD) serine proteinase with extensive similarity to glandular kallikreins. The mechanism responsible for converting the zymogen into active proteinase has not been defined, but active PSA may be irreversibly inactivated in v
Background. Prostate specific antigen (PSA) is useful as a tumor marker for monitoring patients with prostate cancer after definitive therapy. Limitations have been noted when PSA was used for the early detection of prostate cancer. The use of prostate specific antigen density [PSAD = PSA (ng/ml)/pr
