Abstract
292 symptomless males aged 50-85 years were examined for blood prostate-specific antigen (PSA) for early diagnosis of prostatic cancer. Males with total PSA (TPSA) higher than age-specific standard underwent free PSA (FPSA) assay to estimate FPSA/TPSA and transperineal biopsy of the prostate. TPSA ranged from 0.3 to 112.0 ng/ml and exceeded the age standard in 102 examinees (35%). Prognostically unfavorable FPSA/TPSA (under 15%) was registered in 17(5.8%) examinees. Biopsy of the prostate has revealed cancer in 7 of them. Among those whose TPSA was above the standard, but FPSA/TPSA > 15%, morphologically verified prostatic cancer was detected in 5 males. It is thought valid to include the method of PSA fractions estimation in the program of screening for males at risk to develop prostatic cancer as it is simple, cost effective and highly informative.
