Abstract
Physicians now have at their disposal a very useful tool for early dia gnosis of prostate cancer: measurement of prostate-specific antigen (P SA) levels in serum. Although PSA is not the ideal tumor marker that w e physicians all wish we had, it may help guide us in identifying and managing prostate cancer, which currently is the most common malignant disease found in men.
