A prospective study has been planned to ascertain the most common form of cancer in adult males. Ninety six blood samples were taken from the patients attending KIRAN Hospital, The Lab., in which 41 were confirmed cases of prostate cancer and 55 individuals having unknown diseases of prostate gland (prostatitis etc). Their age and bone scan results have been recorded. IRMA estimated tumor marker PSA by using PSA kit supplied by immunotech, a Beckman coulter company. RIA technique was used to detect prostate specific antigens. Serum alkaline phosphatase was detected in Selectra automated analyzer. All tests were performed as described by the manufacturer. In case of malignancy, 53.6 cases showed the abnormal PSA level(>4 ng dL-1). While 46.34% individuals had normal PSA level (0-4 ng dL-1). There was a greater elevation in PSA level in the patients with prostate cancer as compare to bone scan and alkaline phosphatase. PSA has significant correlation with alkaline phosphatase, prostate cancer was easily diagnosed when PSA level was above 100 ng dL-1. Bone scan has the importance when PSA level is above 100 ng dL-1. Hemoglobin is greatly affected and showed less than normal values and nearly same effect was observed on lymphocytes, PSA level increases in cancer patients also in non cancerous patients. |
