Resumen
Elevated PSA levels in blood tests are the gold standard for early prostate cancer detection, but its lack of specificity limits its clinical use as a mass screening test. The paradox is that it has long been known that advanced prostate cancers can lose PSA expression. We have observed that in the presence of tumors, the prostate produces and secretes less PSA than in healthy or benign conditions. Therefore, the PSA evaluation in urine provided more accurate information on the presence of prostate tumors than the blood test, representing a new method for the screening of prostate cancer.
