Scherbina, Sakalo V.S., Kovalyov M.P., Chernenko O.D.

The paper discusses the role of prostatic specific antigen (PSA), markers of aggressive tumor growth — tissue polypeptide specific antigen and thymidine kynase, as well as imaging techniques — transrectal ultrasonography, energetic Doppler mapping, CT, MRT, osteoscintimaging and single-photon emission CT in diagnostics, efficacy evaluation, and dynamic follow-up of prostatic cancer patients. Schedules of patient monitoring are proposed.
