The authors discuss the pathological value of acid phosphatase measurement. One of its main applications is the diagnosis of prostatic cancer. The emergence of immunological methods of measuring the enzyme, which are more sensitive and more specific, has led to renewed interest as acid phosphatase measurement can now be used in the early diagnosis of prostatic cancer, or at least in the early diagnosis of its extraprostatic extensions.
