Abstract：
BACKGROUND:The description of a new method for the measurement of complexed prostate-specific antigen (cPSA) offers a new approach to the diagnosis of prostate cancer. PATIENTS AND METHODS:We measured PSA (Hybritech and Bayer), free PSA (Hybritech) and complexed PSA (Bayer) in 72 patients with prostate cancer and 128 with benign prostate hyperplasia. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:We found an increase of sensitivity using 25 and 7 ng/mL as cut-offs for cPSA in relation to total PSA using as cut-offs 4 and 10 ng/mL (96 and 36% vs. 92 and 35.5%). Similar differences were found for specificity (78% and 31% for cPSA vs. 73% and 29% for total PSA). Therefore, we defined a gray zone for patients with cPSA between 2.5 and 7 ng/mL for which the measurement of the free/complexed PSA ratio saves an important number of negative biopsies maintaining a higher sensitivity.
