Abstract
Prostate cancer (PC) is now one of the most common malignancies in elderly men. The level of prostate-specific antigen (PSA) as the most valuable prognostic tumor marker is estimated for the early detection of PC in practical health care. However, it has no strict specificity for PC and its low and threshold values do not allow prostate neoplasm to be ruled out.
The objective of the investigation was to search for correlations between the level of testosterone, that of PSA, and prostate tissue morphological changes in patients with PC.
