Laboratory assessment of prostate status.

Abstract:

:An obvious advantage of a combined PAP and PSA measurement is the increased sensitivity of detection. Furthermore, the use of both markers in monitoring patients with prostatic carcinoma offers the advantage of a greater number of patients with objective parameters for follow-up.
