Serum PSA and cure perspective for prostate cancer in males with nonpalpable tumor
INTRODUCTION: Many studies have shown the association between PSA levels and the subsequent detection of prostate cancer. In the present trial, we have studied the relationship between preoperative PSA levels and clinical outcome following radical ...
