| Abstract | ||
| The study included 30 patients of prostate cancer and benign prostate hyperplasia and 10 healthy men as control. They were evaluated for sera levels of tumor marker PSA (IRMA) and GGT before any type of therapy or surgery. The mean values for 15 patients with PCa and 15 patients with BPH group were: a) PSA: 62.5±9.426 and 9.36±3.55 ng.ml-1 respectively; b) GGT: 94.3±9.98 and 80.5±11.5 IU.L-1 . A significant increases (p<0.001) was observed in PSA levels and (p<0.002) in GGT levels in benign prostate hyperplasia as compared to normal control subjects. Patients with prostate cancer show increases in mean of PSA and GGT levels as compared to normal control subjects (p>0.05). A significant positive correlation was obtained between PSA and GGT (p<0.001) in prostate cancer and benign prostate hyperplasia. | ||
