Description
The aim of the current study is performing an initial prostate cancer screening test using PSA and FPSA tumour markers. A total of 3000 men in 40-75 years of age were participated in this study. Total PSA and free PSA assays were determined using the ImunoTech total and free PSA assay kits, based on IRMA. Out of 338 cases referred to a specialized hospital, 264 cases were shown prostatic benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH),while 36 cases proved to be prostatic cancer. The detection rate of prostate cancer among all participating cases in this study was 1.2%, while this ratio was 10.7% among the referred cases. F/TPSA ratio has shown a good ability to discriminate between prostate cancer and benign prostatic hyperplasia. (author)
