Abstract
Benign prostatic hyperplasia is a common condition in males over 50 years, but prostate cancer can develop in the same population. Prostate specific antigen, the best marker for prostate cancer, is also produced by benign epithelial cells, and there is an overlapping phenomenon between both conditions. The better we understand the relationships between benign prostatic hyperplasia and prostate specific antigen, the higher will be the discrimination power of prostate specific antigen measurement as a marker for prostate cancer. Our scope includes a review of the latest published material to date on this subject.Keywords
