[Growth factors in blood serum of patients with prostatic adenoma].
A highly sensitive enzyme immunoassay has found that patients with prostatic adenoma aged 57-81 years have a higher concentration of the basic factor of growth of fibroblasts (bFGF) compared to controls (healthy males)--from 1.61 +/- 0.5 to 44.0 +/- 10.8 pg/ml while concentration of the transformation factor beta-1 is subnormal (19.1 +/- 2.2 to 3.5 +/- 1.2 pg/ml).
