Serum prostate specific antigen (PSA) concentration in localized prostate cancer (PCa) patients depends of numerous factors related to tumor, prostate and the patient. Tumor factors include tumor volume, localization, growth rate and aggressiveness. Prostate factors include prostate volume, the activity of dihydrotestosterone (DHT) and PSA synthesis. Host factors include androgenic status and total blood volume.
