[Comparison of the diagnostic value of different tumor markers in prostatic cancer patients]

The author compared the tumour markers of hundred virginell prostatic cancer patients. There were investigated the activity of prostatic acid phosphatase (SP) and its isoenzyme (SPP) by enzymatic method (PAP) as well. The concentration of prostatic specific antigen (PSA) was determined too. The sensibility of markers are growing on the row, SP, SPP, PAP, PSA. Summarising the results, the determination of PAP together with PSA seems to be not necessary. Because of the low price of SP, SPP their determinations is indicated in selected cases. Regarding of costs-benefit the author advises selected investigations in different stage and in different indications.
