Search for other markers increase in prostate cancer diagnosis due to the lack of prostate-specific
antigen, but it has not yet found more sensitive and specific method to make diagnosis by exposing
patients less treatment. The exact diagnosis of prostate cancer continues to be made by prostate
biopsy. Therefore, the sensitivity and specificity investigation of PSA derivatives in early diagnosis of
prostate cancer continues, and different comparisons are made in researches to find the most accurate
and exact diagnostic method. It was aimed to evaluate PSA and derivatives's situation in prostate cancer
diagnosis from past to present.
