Abstract
Early detection and diagnosis improve both the management and the survival ot patients with prostate cancer. The PSA is an excellent tool in urologist's hand, can help in early detection of prostate cancer, in the follow up of the medical treatment or after radical prostatectomy with the purpose of checking the effectiveness ot the treatment. On the other hand, the PSA can result in unnecessary biopsies, causing patient's anxiousness, therefore bearing both advantages and disadvantages. One has to learn and be familiar with the evaluation of the PSA concentration, as well as different PSA derivatives such as PSA velocity, PSA density and free PSA level. PSA should not only be performed in patients with prostate cancer, but also for screening purposes, in combination with rectal digital and transrectal ultrasound examination.
