Abstract

We report our experience in the follow-up of 63 patients with advanced prostate adenocarcinoma. We used prostate-specific antigen and prostatic acid phosphatase in 27 patients; in 36 patients we evaluated osteocalcin and bone isoenzyme of alkaline phosphatase, two markers of bone metabolism which seem to be good markers in the follow-up of patients with bone metastases.
