Abstract
Prostate specific antigen (PSA) testing is now a routine part of the investigation of men with suspected prostate cancer. While a very useful test it still has its problems, in particular its lack of specificity means abnormal results are often caused by benign disease. This review describes the current problems with PSA testing in prostate cancer diagnosis and highlights potential ways in which these may be reduced.Entities:
