Dr. Saubhik Basu, Dr. Kana Bal

Abstract :

 

Breast cancer is the most commonly occurring female cancer in the world and second most common cancer India. PSA (Prostate specific antigen) is a 33kDa serine protease expressed at high levels in the epithelium of the human prostate gland.  ‘free PSA’ is that form of PSA that is not bound to an inhibitor..Serum fPSA level is measured in Histologically and clinically proved female east carcinoma patients  by ELISA both presurgically and 15 days post surgically and  in control subjects.. Free PSA decreases more dramatically after surgery, strongly indicating that this fraction is produced by east tumors. PSA can be used as a prognostic indicator of Breast carcinoma and  as an indicator of completion of surgery and recurrence.
