Abstract
Preoperative bone marrow acid phosphatase determinations were elevated in 18 of 31 patients who underwent radical prostatectomies for cancer. A review of the surgical pathology and clinical followup demonstrated a higher incidence of bone metastases in these patients.This publication has 9 references indexed in Scilit:
