Abstract

Prostatic cancer is the second most common cancer in American men. It is estimated that, in 198 7, over 96 000 new cases will be diagnosed [1]. Nearly half of all patients have metastatic disease at the time of diagnosis [2]. The need for early detection of prostatic cancer makes it desirable to establish simple diagnostic procedures that yield accurate information and can be performed on an outpatient basis.
