There are various criteria to diagnose the malignancy / cancer prostate like history, clinical examination, routine blood & the liver function tests, radiological imaging, serum psa value, serum acid phosphatase. And of course the prostatic biopsy, which is confimatory. Please contact me online. Thanks. Regards.
