Abstract
The impact of prostatoliths (PL) on the level of prostate-specific antigen (PSA) was evaluated and their association with prostate cancer (PC) was studied in 145 patients with benign hyperplasia and cancer of the prostate. No statistically significant increase in PSA levels in the presence of PL was found. A chronic inflammatory process in the prostate was more common in PC concurrent with PL, which is an indirect sign
of a possible correlation between PL and PC. Final conclusions about the oncourological aspects of PL can be made only after further investigations in this area.
