OBJECTIVE: To investigate the role of circulating mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) in patients with localized prostate cancer, as recent reports show that patients with advanced cancer have increased levels of mtDNA. PATIENTS AND METHODS: DNA was isolated from the serum of 100 patients with prostate cancer and 18 with benign prostate hyperplasia (BPH).
