Prostate specific antigen was not detectable in 2 men with documented prostate cancer progression after radical prostatectomy. Possible explanations for prostate specific antigen remaining zero in these situations are discussed. We conclude that while monitoring prostate specific antigen is of great value in the followup of patients with prostatic cancer, it has not replaced more standard means of followup.
在2例根治性前列腺切除术后有前列腺癌进展记录的男性患者中，未检测到前列腺特异性抗原。本文讨论了在这些情况下前列腺特异性抗原保持为零的可能原因。我们得出结论，虽然监测前列腺特异性抗原在前列腺癌患者的随访中具有重要价值，但它尚未取代更标准的随访方法。
