Lactate dehydrogenase isoenzymes in benign and malignant prostatic tissues.
84 prostatic tissue specimens consisted of 62 benign hyperplasias and 22 carcinomas have been studied regarding Lactate dehydrogenase isoenzymes pattern. A consistent and definite shift of the LDH5 : LDH1 ratio has been found in carcinomas respect to benign hyperplasias.
