Background
is one of the malignancies that affects men and significantly contributes to (PCa) Prostate cancer is one of the (8OHdG) Hydroxydeoxyquanosine-8 increased mortality rates in men globally. predominant forms of free radical-induced oxidative lesions, and has therefore been widely used as a mor marker Prostate Specific Antigen (PSA) is a tu tive stress and carcinogenesis. biomarker for oxida ected in the blood det ed by the prostate gland and is PSA is an enzyme produc for prostate cancer.
as tumer marker of prostate cancer 8OHdG serum Evaluation of Objective . conditions under normal and its relationship with PSA.Method This case- control study was carried out at Department of Biochemistry, College of Medicine, University of Baghdad and at Urology department, Ghazi Al Hariri Hospital for surgical speciality during the period from March 2022 to May 2023. It included
120 men patients, 60 men patients who diagnosed to have prostate cancer ,and 60 men were apparently healthy men. Investigations included serum measurements of 8OHdG by using enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) technique and also measurement of serum PSA. Results The results of the present study showed that there was a significant differences in 8OHdG in prostate
cancer patients as compared with the control group. The results also showed that the S.PSA were higher in the patients group compared to the controls group with significant statistical difference. Conclusion According to the results obtained we can be concluded that higher levels of 8OHdG and PSA may be associated with risk of prostate cancer.
