title: Prostatic acid phosphatase by radioimmunoassay tumor marker in bone marrow.
abstract: Bone marrow acid phosphatase was determined by radioimmunoassay and enzymatic analysis in 95 patients with benign prostatic hypertrophy, 50 patients with disseminated prostatic carcinoma and 36 patients with non-prostatic malignancy. The results indicate superior specificity of the radioimmunoassay. A brief review of the topic and the clinical implications are discussed.
