The ability of serum prostate specific antigen (PSA) to predict bony metastasis at initial presentation was determined in 25 patients. Eight (32%) patients had bony metastasis at presentation and serum PSA values in all these patients were more than 30 ng/mI. Among these 2 (8%) patients had >I00ng /ml serum PSA values. Bone scans are necessary in initial staging but following the diagnosis and treatment this can be replaced by serum PSA level estimation in monitoring the patients with carcinoma prostate.Downloads
