Abstract
One of the numerous tumor markers used in the clinic in the diagnosis of prostate cancer is the determination of the activity of prostatic acid phosphatase in the blood serum. This indicator has been used in the clinic since the 30s, but its role in the diagnosis of prostate cancer remains controversial. Some authors consider the activity of prostatic acid phosphatase to be an especially sensitive test in the diagnostics of this disease, while others, on the contrary, point out its low level of informativeness.
