Serum prostatic acid phosphatase activity and prostate specific antigen when the prostate gland is enlarged

D Jenkins et al. Med Lab Sci. 1991 Apr.

Abstract

Serum prostatic acid phosphatase activity and prostate specific antigen levels were measured in the serum of 113 patients undergoing transurethral resection of an enlarged prostate gland, and the results compared with the histological diagnosis. Prostate-specific antigen was found to be the more sensitive indicator of malignancy, but prostatic acid phosphatase was more specific.
