title: Possible role of amylase enzyme in prostatic and seminal fluid.
abstract: Previous quantitative assays and localization of amylase in prostatic and seminal fluid prompted us to determine serum amylase levels in benign and malignant prostatic disease. The possible role of amylase in seminal fluid in normal and pathological conditions is discussed with review of literature.
