    Prostate cancer is one of the most common types of cancer in Peru, and in most cases, early detection tests are feasible. However, in some areas, there is a lack of necessary resources to measure prostate-specific antigen levels in the population. The objective is to establish the relationship between prostate-specific antigen concentrations and the beta subunit of human chorionic gonadotropin in men aged 50 to 60 with a prostate cancer diagnosis in a public institution in Lima, 2023. Methodology: A non-experimental design was used with a quantitative approach and simple random sampling of 212 patient records. The technique of document analysis was employed, along with a data collection form and statistical analysis using IBM-SPSS. Results: 17.9% showed PSA levels in the high-risk category for prostate cancer, and 6.6% had intermediate-risk values. Additionally, 24.5% had pathological β-hCG levels. In the correlation analysis, a Spearman's Rho coefficient of 0.638 (p = 0.000) was obtained. Conclusion: A strong direct relationship exists between prostate-specific antigen levels and the beta subunit of human chorionic gonadotropin in men aged 50 to 60 with prostate cancer.
