Abstract

Studies of the composition of prostatic tissue revealed significant decreases not only of the zinc but also of the potassium concentration, in the cancerous tissue, whereas the nitrogen, phosphorus and magnesium concentrations were within normal limits. The composition of hyperplastic prostatic tissue was similar to the normal except for a tendency towards decreased nitrogen concentration.
