| Abstract | ||
| Abstract Total prostate specific antigen (t-PSA) levels were measured in sera and tissues of three groups of patients with breast tumors using immunoradiometric assay (IRMA). Group I consisted of 29 women suffering from benign breast tumors. Group II and III consisted of 21 and 27 women suffering from pre- and postmenopausal malignant breast tumors. In addition to that, another group of 32 women were used as control. The results obtained revealed that the levels of serum t-PSA in group I was increased significantly (P< 0.0001) whereas in group II and III, the levels of serum t-PSA were slightly significant (P< 0.05). An immunoradiometric assay procedure was developed for the determination of t-PSA in the three groups. Total PSA (t-PSA) level in tissues of patients with group I was significantly higher than in group II and III (p< 0.001) whereas the level of t-PSA in tissues of patients with group II and III were no significant (P< 0.1). The results obtained revealed higher incidence of t-PSA in group I than those in group II and III. | ||
