Serum and bone marrow prostatic speciafic antigen and prostatie acid phosphatase levels in patient’s with prostatic cancer

الملخص AR

Serum and bone narrow levels of prostatic specific antigen and prostatic acid pho$phatase were analyzed and quantified by double antibody radioimmunoassay in 36 prostatic cancer patient؛؛, including 23 with metastatic cancer.

There was a significant correlation between the serum and bone marrow levels of prostatic specific antigen and prostatic acid phosphatase independently of the metasta؛؛es (p< 0.001).

No patient آاأ؛-'اا prostatic cancer and positive bone marrow prostatic specific antigen or prostatic acid phosphatase levels had normal serum levels.

Quantification of bone marrow prostatic specific antigen and prostatic acid phosphatase does not provide more information than does serum determination
