Immunohistochemical techniques using antibodies to prostate specific antigen (PSA) and prostate specific acid phosphatase (PAP) have greatly increased the feasibility of reliable diagnosis of primary or metastatic prostatic carcinoma. A review of the literature showed the diagnostic specificity of antibodies to PSA or PAP to be 100% and 87-100%, respectively. The corresponding figures for diagnostic sensitivity were 94-100% and 90-100%.
