Purpose: To examine the clinical use of PSP94 (prostate secretory protein of 94 amino acids) as an androgen independent marker, we conducted a comparative study of prostate samples including benign tissue and cancers which did and did not have androgen deprivation.Materials and Methods: Among 163 radical prostatectomy cases 75 had androgen deprivation before operation, while surgery was performed in the remainder without prior hormone treatment. Considering the pathological up grading following hormone therapy, contiguous sections from radical prostatectomy samples were stained for PSP94 and prostate specific antigen (PSA) by immunohistochemistry, and equivalent tumor foci were evaluated by assessing the intensity and extent of the staining.Results: In untreated benign prostate tissue PSP94 and PSA staining was positive and identical in all sections in the no pretreatment group. However, PSP94 expression in the androgen deprivation group was significantly higher than PSA in intensity (p = 0.0005) and extent (p = 0.034). In untreated cancer cases PSP94 intensity and extent demonstrated strong inverse association with Gleason grade (p
