Abstract

Elevated serum levels of biochemical markers of bone turnover and YKL-40 in patients with metastatic prostate cancer (PC) at the time of diagnosis are associated to poor prognosis. In this study, we evaluated the value of these biomarkers in monitoring the patients during hormonal treatment.
