ABSTRACT
Prostatic cancer represents an important health problem worldwide, being the third most common malignancy in men older than 55 years, after pulmonary and colon cancer. In early stages prostatic cancer remains hard to be diagnosed at clinical or imagistical studies, the most efficient way to detect it being based on the determination of tumor markers. This is a literature review of the largest studies conducted on the theme of prostatic tumor markers.
