In the present study we determined the incidence of cancer and benign prostatic hyperplasia, through quantification of total PSA and free PSA using the ELISA technique sandwich indirect noncompetitive type, in patients who attended the Institute SELADIS during the 2005 period, where were taken into account for 64 patients. The results were divided into those patients with values greater than 10 ng / mL, between 4 to 10 ng / mL, 0.1 to 3.9 ng / mL and 0 ng / ml PSA Altogether, these values were quantified the total PSA free PSA and free PSA found the rate / total PSA, resulting in a total of 24 patients (68%) due to BPH while 12 patients (32%) had prostate cancer. The data rate of free PSA / total PSA guides the doctor for a certain treatment and mostly avoids unnecessary biopsies were conducted to the patient.
