ASSOCIATION BETWEEN SERUM LEVELS OF ADIPOKINES IN PATIENTS WITH PROSTATE CANCER.

Our findings showed that the levels of adiponectin were strongly reduced in the patients' group. other parameters were significantly higher compared with control group. Also, there are strong correlation between the levels of chemerin/ adiponectin ratio and the severity of the disease, suggesting the importance of this ratio to monitoring response to the treatment of prostate cancer, predicating the possibility of using these findings as PCa markers in early stage of disease.
