Background : Carcinoma of prostate is one of the common tumor of old age in men. With digital rectal examination (DRE), prostate specific antigen (PSA) is a major screening tool for prostate cancer. The cutoff value for PSA of 4.0 ng/mL gives the highest sensitivity and highest specificity. Several modifications of PSA testing have been developed and may be beneficial for select populations.

Methods: The study include 180 cases between 48 to 76 years of age group. Serum PSA level and HistopathologyÂ of prostatic biopsy was done and correlate.

Results :- Widespread use ofÂ PSA for early detection prostate cancer in india. In present study 56% cases of BPH with mean age 57.77 Â±4.86. and 33.1% Malignant (Adeno ca. + TCC) Â with mean age 65.70 Â±5.64.
