The Efficiency of the Serum Prostate Specific Antigen Levels in Diagnosing Prostatic Enlargements

ABSTRACT Background: The objective of this study was to evaluate the serum PSA levels in patients presenting with enlarged prostate and to evaluate the efficiency of serum PSA to diagnose and differentiate benign and malignant enlargements. Methods: The authors evaluated the patients coming in s...
