A study of the correlation of prostatic pathology and serum prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels: a perspective from Papua New Guinea

D P Murthy et al. P N G Med J. 1998 Jun.

Abstract

A review of serum prostate-specific antigen (PSA) values from January 1994 to May 1997 and their correlation with the histopathology of prostate specimens was carried out in the Department of Pathology, Port Moresby General Hospital. The study has shown that this biochemical investigation has not been properly used for the maximum benefit of the patient population. Remedial measures are suggested to improve the sensitivity and specificity of PSA in a setting with limited resources.
