The aim of this study was to investigate a potential role of alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) and aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH) as tumor markers for prostate cancer (PCa). Serum samples were obtained from 52 patients with PCa, 34 patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and 60 healthy subjects. C...
