Tissue polypeptide antigen (TPA) and prostatic acid phosphatase in serum of prostatic cancer patients.
Tissue polypeptide antigen (TPA) and prostatic acid phosphatase were both detected by radioimmunoassay in the sera of a male population (age greater than 45 years) consulting the clinic for urological problems or check-up on treatment. Increased concentrations of TPA were associated mostly with advanced stages of prostatic carcinomas, parallel to PAP. Some enhanced TPA concentrations were detected with haematuria and adenomas of the prostate.
