We compared a commercial radioimmunoassay kit with an enzymatic assay for prostatic acid phosphatase in monitoring the progression or remission of disease in 27 patients with prostatic cancer. In 5 of the 18 patients whose disease progressed, and in 4 of the 9 whose disease responded to treatment, the change was reflected better by the radioimmunoassay. In no case was the enzymatic assay better. Radioimmunoassay for prostatic acid phosphatase may be an effective and sensitive way to monitor the course of carcinoma of the prostate.
